In spite of the magnitude of the task and the variety of subjects and technical difficulties of editing such highly specialised works, the Daira has, to an appreciable extent, attempted to bring out these works in the original Arabic text with as much accuracy as possible and with as few drawbacks as are inherent in all human under- takings and with as little equipment and resources as are necessary for publishing such highly learned texts. Details of all these efforts, the position of the author in a particular branch of knowledge, the place of a particular work in the literature of that subject, the introduction, essays, notes and indices as are necessary for modern research publications, have all been appended to each and every work. The interested reader will thus know the part played by a particular author in advancing human knowledge in his own days and the importance of that particular book in the present times. The Daira owes a deep debt of gratitude to all those who have helped it to produce the works in the present form. Due acknowledgment has been made of all such benefactors in the right place. It further wishes to seek the indulgence of all scholars for any shortcomings they may come across and requests them to help it by their advice in future also. 3 The New Programme of these Publications was first announced in 1951 at the XXII Session of the Interna- tional Congress of Orientalists at Istanbul andwas finalised at the Colloquium on Islamic Culture at Princeton in 1953. It was highly welcomed by the great Orientalists that had assembled there from the four quarters of the globe. The visit of the Hon'b!, Maulana Abu'l-Kalam Azad, Minister of Education, Government of India, to the city of Hyderabad, the Osmania University and the Dairatu'l- Ma'arif on 24th September 1952 and his survey of the activities of the Daira and its future plans put a new life into the work of the Daira and enabled it to render greater service by reviving the glorious past of the East and presenting to the world a few masterpieces of the Medieval times which have been the coveted goal of the Western nations during this and the past centuries. This was but a consummation of the patronage that had been extended to Oriental Studies by India in the past ages. The New Series of which a list is given below, ( this work forms one of its components ) would not have seen the light of day, had it not been for the continued financial subsidy from the Government of Hyderabad and the Osmania University, as well as for the specific grant of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Thus the Daira has been fortunate in opening fresh fountains of knowledge for new workers in free India and has been able to depute a few silent ambassadors of our own country to foreign lands where Arabic is studied seriously and where Eastern thought and learning are 2 : GENERAL INTRODUCTION Since the achievements of Eastern authors in the fields of humanities and sciences are of basic importance and since modern historians of literature, religion, philosophy and science are deeply interested in the evolution of thought and are making great researches into the regions of knowledge covered by the geniuses of the past centuries, the Executive and Literary Committees of the Dairatu'l- Ma'arif, realising the great need of our times, have planned a. New Programme of Publications and included in it several literary, scientific and historical works which had remained unpublished and beyond the reach of students. scholars and even experts for centuries. During the past seven decades, the Dairatu'l-Ma'arif, keeping in view its aims and objects and its resources, has contributed its share to the advancement of Eastern knowledge in various branches of studies and has published nearly 150 independent works in 350 volumes of which a cursory mention has been made in the Glimpses of the Dāiratu'l-Ma'ārif ( 1888 - 1956), published recently. The year 1951 marks a great extension in the activities of the Dairatu'l-Ma'arif and it may well be claimed as one of the lasting fruits of Independence and a symbol of · our national re-emergence. : I GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW SERIES .
