Talk:Jami' al-tawarikh

message: On July 8, 1980 what is now the Khalili portion sold at Sotheby's for £850,000 - $2,017,050 to a firm of Swiss lawyers acting for an unidentified client. 
Khalili acquired it in 1990.  He is variously claimed to have paid for it $10 million (Forbes, 2005), $12 million (Bloomberg/Herald Tribune, 2007), or an undisclosed amount, "reportedly the most expensive ever sold, although the price has never been revealed." (The Art Newspaper, 2007).

replies: text: I see no public domain translation, but in the international literatoure about islamic things I see this: Rashid al-Din, Rashiduddin Fazlullah’s Jami’t-tawarikh (Compendium of Chronicles): 
A History of the Mongols, tr. W. M. Thackston, 3 vols (Harvard, 
1998–9). Why is this book not mentioned in the article? --Dlugacz (talk) 07:58, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The discussion of the inspiration for the nativity scene is discussed in the section on the Arab manuscript.  Also, the borrowing of imagery. There does not appear to be a reason to repeat it. Alanscottwalker (talk) 09:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I have adjusted this, but the section should perhaps be merged into the more detailed discussion further down. It talks of "the manuscript" whichout making it clear which manuscript - the Arabic one presumably? Johnbod (talk) 11:51, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Better.  Yes.  That reference is still unclear, so merger may fix that.  Also, what is meant by "errors" in that paragraph, and "stock figures"  -- the latter is either anachronistic or needs more explanation. Alanscottwalker (talk) 13:41, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "errors" is wrong I think - "adaptions" maybe. "Stock figures" just means unexplained figures standing around for no obvious reason & is maybe not right here (there is staffage). But I haven't seen the source.Johnbod (talk) 13:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, also "simple," what is meant by that? Alanscottwalker (talk) 15:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, the second word of the title needs to be capitalized replacing the lower case "t" with an upper case "T". Can an authorized editor/admin make the move? Thank you. 46.31.118.91 (talk) 08:36, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
