[660] According to Mirkhond, he reigned twenty-four years, during which some memorable events took place (see _French transl._, pp. 49-51) here omitted for want of room. [661] The thirtieth khalif of the Abbasides; he who assassinated in the Hejira 530 (A. D. 1135). His father, Mostarshed, had met with the same fate by the hands of the Fedayis, towards the end of Kia Buzurg’s reign. To exhibit the long series of assassinations by which the Fedâyís spread terror all over Asia, is a weighty task, which has been recently performed by the master-hand of the Baron von Hammer.――(See his _Geschichte der Assassinen_.) Muhammed Buzerg died after a reign of twenty-five years. [662] In the style of the Batenian and the Druses, _resurrection_ signifies the day of the manifestation of the Imám, his doctrine, the entire triumph of his religion and the abolition of every other sect.――(Note of _Silvestre de Sacy_, p. 54 of the work already quoted.) [663] The edition of Calcutta has erroneously 541. [664] Mirkhond says (_French transl._, p. 56): Hassan was stabbed in the castle of Lamsir, by his wife’s brother, who descended from the family of Baviah, and had preserved the faith of, and attachment to, the ancient religion. There is evidently an omission or hiatus at this place in the edition of Calcutta. According to Mirkhond (pp. 57-59), after the murder of Hassan, son of Muhammed, Hassan’s son Muhammed, occupied the throne. He maintained the doctrine of his father, and had great pretensions to learning. He governed, from the age of nineteen, forty-six years with great success; the _Molheds_ (so were called his adherents) triumphed every where among rapine and bloodshed. He died in the year of the Hejira 607 (A. D. 1210-1). He was succeeded by his son Jelal eddin Hassan, ben Muhammed, ben Hassan, who was born in the year of the Hejira 552 (A. D. 1157-8), therefore fifty-three years old when he began to reign. Mirkhond says, doubtingly, that according to some historians, he poisoned his father, which is positively asserted in the text of the Dabistán. He re-established the Muslim religion, and acquired the name of Jelal-eddin _nóu Muselman_, “new Muselman.” [665] The edition of Calcutta has, most erroneously, 308. [666] This is a treatise upon Morals, composed by Naśir eddin Túsí, upon whom see our note 2, p. 417. [667] Mirkhond places the assassination of Ala eddin in the year of the Hejira 653 (A. D. 1255-6).
