Notes

¹Mustashār al-Dawlah, Yūsuf ibn Kāẓim, One Word – Yak Kaleme. 19th-Century Persian Treatise Introducing Western Codified Law (trs AA Seyed-Gohrab and S McGlinn, Iranian Studies Series, Leiden University Press, Leiden 2010) xxvi.

²For his biography, see Muḥammad Ṣādiq Fayz, Mīrzā Yūsuf Khān Mustashār ad-Dowla Tabrīzī, Yak kalima wa yik nāma (Tehran: Ṣabbāḥ 1382/1962). The translators simply add 621 to convert hijri dates to miladi dates in some of their footnotes (e.g. 1382/2003). The reader should be careful about this error.
