Side 113 - Kaianian belt, about a foot deep, weighing, perhaps, 18 lb., and one complete mass of pearls, diamonds, emeralds, and rubies. One or two scabbards of swords are said to be worth a quarter of a million each. There is also the finest turquoise in the world- three or four inches long, and without a flaw ; and " I remarked a smaller ono of unique beaut)-, three-quarters of an inch long, and three-eighths of an inch broad ; the colour was lovely, and almost as refreshing to the eyes as Persian poets pretend.
Side 318 - Malleh, qui est fort ŕ craindre parce que l'homme qui en est piqué tombe dans une consomption qui le fait dépérir ŕ vue d'œil, surtout s'il ne se soumet pas sans restriction au régime dicté par l'expérience : c'est de s'abstenir de viandes et de boissons acides ou fermentées.
Side 318 - Miana mériterait les recherches d'un naturaliste exercé. Il est un peu plus grand que la punaise d'Europe, d'un gris tirant sur le noir, et parsemé sur le dos d'une multitude de points rouges.
Side 218 - The quadrangle is larger than that of Shah Abbas; and at the eastern side is an immense blue dome, out of which quantities of grass were growing, the place being too sacred to be disturbed. In front of the dome rose two lofty minarets covered with blue tiles.
Side 319 - Miana, et souvent elles donnent la mort en moins de 24 heures ; j'en ai entendu raconter deux exemples. « Les Anglais de Tauris m'ont unanimement déclaré qu'ils ont perdu ŕ Miana un de leurs domestiques qui fut atteint par ces terribles insectes ; il éprouva bientôt dans tout son corps une chaleur violente, tomba dans une espčce de délire et expira enfin au milieu d'épouvantables convulsions. J'ai reçu d'autres informations non moins dignes de foi du colonel baron Wrčde qui a servi longtemps...
Side 218 - ... were covered with gold. All this part of the mosque (shrine) was built by Shah Abbas. In the centre of the eastern side of the quadrangle two gigantic doors were thrown open to admit the people into the adytum or inner mosque (shrine) where is the marble tomb of Imam Reza, surrounded by a silver railing with knobs of gold. There was a flight of steps ascending to these doors, and beyond were two smaller doors encrusted with jewels — the rubies were particularly fine. The inner mosque would...
Side 112 - But I remember that at the back of all was the Kaianian crown, and on either side of it two Persian lambskin caps adorned with splendid aigrettes of diamonds. The crown itself was shaped like a flower-pot, with the small end open, and the other closed. On the top of the crown was an uncut ruby, apparently without flaw, as big as a hen's -egg. In front of the crown were dresses covered with diamonds and pearls, trays with necklaces of pearls, rubies and emeralds, and some hundreds of diamond, ruby,...
Side 319 - Lorsqu'il passait ŕ Miana la saison était fort avancée ; ne croyant rien avoir ŕ craindre des Punaises, il y resta la nuit, mais avec la précaution de tenir une bougie allumée. Il n'éprouva aucun mal. Un cosaque de son escorte eut le lendemain matin une tache noire au pied, tint des propos délirants et tomba enfin dans un accčs de fureur. Les habitants conseillčrent un remčde usité en pareil cas : ce fut d'écorcher un bœuf et d'envelopper le pied du malade dans la peau encore chaude....
Side 318 - Miana depuis un temps immémorial et se répandent jusque dans les environs, oů elles sont un peu moins dangereuses. En hiver, elles restent immobiles dans les trous de murailles et, semblables ŕ tous les animaux venimeux, c'est dans les grandes chaleurs de l'été que leur venin a le plus d'activité. Ce qu'il ya de plus merveilleux, męme unique ŕ l'égard de ces Punaises, c'est qu'elles n'attaquent pas les naturels, ou du moins, les piqűres qu'elles leur font, n'ont pas de suites plus graves...
Side 218 - The inner mosque would contain 3,000 persons. Over it rose a dome entirely covered with gold, with two minarets at the sides, likewise gilt all over. On the right of the Imam's tomb is that of Abbas Mirza, grandfather of the reigning Shah. Near him several other princes and chiefs of note are buried. Beyond the golden dome, in striking and beautiful contrast with it, was a smaller dome of bright blue. Here begins the mosque of Gauhar Shad.
