Transcriber's Note: Several errors in the original book have been corrected for this eBook.
In the text of Salámán and Absál the section headers for parts II, V and XI were omitted—these have been checked in FitzGerald's Salámán and Absál: A Study by A. J. Arberry and put in the correct places.
Also in Salámán and Absál, in part XXI, a paragraph break was missing. This has been re-inserted.
In addition, the following typographical errors have been corrected:
