Jami‘ al-tawarikh: The Illustrated Compendium of Chronicles (Volume VII) offers a remarkable study of one of the most important illustrated medieval manuscripts from the Islamic world. Written in the early 14th century by Rashid al-Din under Ilkhanid patronage, the 59 folios in the Collection reproduced here in full colour for the first time form part of the earliest surviving Arabic copy of this universal history.

With analysis of the calligraphers, painters, and illustration sources, and a reconstruction of the manuscript’s original order, this volume traces its journey from Tabriz to Herat, the Mughal court, and the East India Company, before acquisition by the Royal Asiatic Society. Richly illustrated and accompanied by scholarly commentary, it is an essential resource for the study of medieval Persian book art and historiography.

TIL the most commonly used Chinese words for “past”(過去), “now” (現在), “future” (未來) are all Buddhist calque of Sanskrit (過去未來現在諸佛)😳

過去 Sanskrit अतीत “[what has] gone by”

現在 Sanskrit प्रत्युत्पन्न “present”

未來 Sanskrit अनागत “not yet”

Tech Bro's Sense of Smell: A Short Story in Three Acts

Act I

A woman posts a photo holding her English PhD thesis on the politics of smell (or the relationship between smell and power).

Tech bros left, right, and center troll her, trash her. Thousands of hateful, sexist comments.

This is a complete and utter waste of time and effort and money; literary studies is a fake academic field, they say.

Who even needs yet another PhD in English, they ask.

Act II

A white tech bro sees a photo of a hackathon with a bunch of young Indian men in the foreground.

"imagine the smell," he comments.

Indian tech bros criticize him. This is racist, they say.

We wash ourselves with water after pooping unlike you folks who use dry toilet paper. It's you who smells, they say.

They ask the white tech bro to apologize.

White tech bro says, this is a harmless joke, all hackathons smell. He says, he will not apologize, and asks others to be charitable with him.

Indian tech bros start leaving 1 star reviews for the app the company the white tech bro works at.

Act III

The white tech bros' boss is an Indian tech bro.

The Indian boss fires the white tech bro.

Epilogue

Now do you see how complex the relationship between smell and power is. That's why smart folks at top universities spend years trying to understand and explain this relationship.

An early 17th-century Egyptian grammarian of Turkish, Ibn Muhammad Salih,realized that the Turkish recorded in Mamluk-era grammar books was different from the Turkish that the Ottomans spoke (which he calls “sultanic Turkish”):

Polonyalı bir Ermeni olan Simeon'un Celali İsyanları ve Büyük Kaçgun sonrası Anadolu'ya gerçekleştirdiği geziyi takriben yazdığı seyahatnamesini okuyorum. Yaşanan yıkıma, sosyal kültürel ve etnik detaylara dair söyledikleri oldukça ilginç. İşte bunlardan bir kaçı:
