| Notes | Digitization carried out from a substitution document: R 7808. The title of this novel, which is written in prose, is indicated in the manuscript's subscription in an incorrect form. The author of this story is a follower of the religion of Zoroaster who had no literary pretensions. He introduced into the framework of his story the names of Zacharias and Saint John, according to the Iranian-Jewish syncretism which consists of mixing facts and episodes from the annals of Persia and the Jewish people. All the titles which should have been written in red ink were omitted by the copyist, who visibly reproduced the text of an incomplete manuscript from its beginning.
