The volume is the first complete edition of the well known Saʻdī Šīrāzī's work, entitled "Gulistan", a work on the tradition of the Mirror for Magistrates, that Saʻdī dedicated to the rulers son, Sad ibn Abī Bakr ibn Sad. It is a collection of moralising anecdotes, arranged according to subject matter in 8 books. The mixture of prose and verse presented in it, if not the first instance of its kind in Persian, immediately makes the genre central to Persian literary history and elevates it to a new level of sophistication. Gentius's translation includes a final and extensive chapter with explanatory notes to the different chapters of the work.The printing made by Blaeu shows splendid Naskhi types.
