which is a mere copy of Persian literature, has also several anthologies. The most imjiortant are: Giihari Ihrfihlm (Rose Garden of Ibra- him), by 'All Ibrahim, containing bioginphical notices of three hundred Hindustani poets, with specimens of their wiitings; the collection called Diicfini Jihan (Divan of the World), by Beni-Narayan; Giilshani Hind (Garden of In- dia), by Wirza 'Ali Lntf; Guldasta'i yisliOt (Garland of Pleasure), by Manu L:il (Calcutta, 1836), and Oulrla^td'i X(i~iui))in (Garland of Delights) , Ijy Kurim-ad-Din (Calcutta, 184.5) . The substance of these works is to be found in Garcin de Tassy's Uistoire de la Uttcrature hindotie et hindoustanic (second edition, Paris, 1839-47), which, under the title of TabalcaU Shurfii Hindi, was translated into Hindustani by Karim-ad- Dln (Delhi, 1848). In the pure Hindu we have a rich collection of songs, the Ragsutjar (Ocean of JIusieal Verse), by Krishnananda (Calcutta, 1845).
7. Sanskrit Anthologies. The Sanskrit lit- erature is not so rich in anthologies as are other Oriental literatures. But the collections, com- prising a hundred strophes each (Satakus), and attributed to many poets, may almost be termed anthologies. True' Sanskrit anthologies are the Haduktiknnwmrta. or "ear-nectar of good say- ings," li Haradasa (about 1205 A.D.), the Hiirn- gadharaijaddkati, or Anthology of Sarngad- hara, and Vallabhadeva's Siibhnshitavali (Se- ries of Good Words). Biihtlingk, Indische Spriiche, 3 volumes (St. Petersburg. 1870-73). contains an anthology of 7613 Sanskrit strophes, with a literal German translation.
8. Chinese Anthologies. The oldest anthology in the world is that which Confucius has handed down under the name of the Shi-King, or Book of Songs, forming one of the five great canonical books, or sacred classics of the Chinese. Chinese authors assert that about 3000 other poems were known in the time of Confucius. The .S7it-7vi»f/ consists of 311 pieces, which picture vividly the nuinners and customs, the state of knowledge and art, and the aspects of nature in the states which afterward became Cliina. The best translation with critical appa- ratus is by .James Legge (London, 1870). There is also a version in Latin by Lacharme ( Stutt- gart, 1830), and one in German by Riickert (Al- tona, 1833). The poems of the Liang Dynasty (.502-557 A.I).), and of the Tang Dynasty (618- 905), have also been collected, but are only in part translated.
9. Japanese Anthologies. The .Japanese abound in anthologies, since they consider poetry more as the production of an epoch than of an individual. The oldest and largest anthology, compiled in the eighth century, is called Minujn- sliK, or Collection of Ten Thousand J,cnves. It contains 4565 songs, mostly in 31-syllable poems. The Kokinshu, or Hongs Ancient and Modern, numbering 1090, was finished about 922. -An- other anthology of the same century, (rosen Wakashu, contains 1356 short poems. Other collections were made by order of the Mikados in the succeeding centuries, ending with the fif- teenth, and (hese. with Songs Ancient and Mod- ern, are known under the general name of the An- thologies of the One and Twenty Reiyns. All of these books have had abundant commentary, and are valuable to the student and historian. There are innumerable other collections made by im- perial or private order, besides many selections of one hundred songs cacli, the most famous of the latter being the Hiaku-nin-is-shiu (one hun- dred poets, one verse), which has been translated into English with notes liy F. V. Dickens (Lon- don, 1866). Consult also, Anthologie japonnaise^ by Leon de Eosny, Paris, 1870, and B. H. Cham- berlain, Classical Poetry of the Japanese (Lon- don, ISSO).
