Series CAS/7 - Research Notes

Storey made many notes in his lifetime of research. Some have been catalogued within the Persian Literature Volumes. This series contains those that have not been assigned to any of the individual volumes.
These are:

• Bibliographical research notes - handwritten notes similar to the volume entries. Some have indications that they may have been used in the volumes but they have not been specifically ordered as volume entries.
• Notebook without cover with notes in Arabic from the 'Home Services Miscellany' - this notebook has suffered from water damage.
• Notes on periodicals - handwritten.
• 'Arabic lexicographical notes' - handwritten, title according to label within original file.
• 'Lexicographical notes - Persian I' - handwritten, title according to label within original file.
• Research notes in Arabic and English notes on manuscript pages, annotations and miniatures, handwritten.
• Research notes on 'Philologika' by Von Hellmut Ritter and other publications concerning Ansani, The Suhrawardiyya, 'Ain al-qudat, Kubra, and Najm al-Din Dajah, handwritten.
• Lists for the contents of MSS Eur. A.11; Persian manuscript titles, listed by size; Contents of the Persian Delhi Manuscripts, Volume III; A handlist of Arabic Printed Works divided by size; and 'Additions'. These are all typed lists. It is unknown which institution's lists from where these have been taken.
• A large bound notebook containing notes on Course in Bengal Madrassas; Courses at Panjab University; Prospectus of Studies and Examinations for the indigenous Arabic Schools of the United Provinces, 1911; Books Studied in al_Jami al-Azhan; Courses at Deoband.

Inserted within the front cover are some handwritten notes, a copy of a letter from Professor Browne on Persian research, a news cutting - 'Baronet in the Dock: Extraordinary Allegations' and a sheet of a Persian newspaper.

• Two pocket notebooks, one with a red cover and one unbound containing mixed research notes in Arabic and English.
