Volume V covers Poetry of the pre-Mongol period and is entitled 'Persian Literature: A Bio-Bibliographical Survey. Begun by the Late C. A. Storey'. It was compiled for the Royal Asiatic Society by François de Blois as an essentially new work, with some use of Storey’s material.

It was originally published in three fascicles: Part 1 in1992; Part 2 in 1994; and Part 3 in 1997. A second, hardbound edition of the entire volume, substantially revised and corrected, was published in 2004. The work on this volume was financed by the Royal Asiatic Society out of the funds bequeathed to it by Storey on a condition that the typescript of the first fascicle be completed in two years, which necessitated de Blois to compile it using only material available in London.

A further Volume VI was envisaged to be devoted to Persian poetry from the time of Saʿdi and Rumi onward. This has not been prepared or published.
