Description

It looks like you’re asking about a specific edition of Bagh-O-Bahar (باغ و بہار).
Bagh-O-Bahar (Classic) – Facsimile Edition of the 1851 Manuscript
“Bagh-O-Bahar” is a foundational work in Urdu prose, written by Mir Amman Dehlavi. This particular mention, “۱۸۵۱ کے نسخے کا عکسی ایڈیشن” (1851 ke nuskhay ka aksi edition), refers to a facsimile edition of a classic manuscript from 1851.
Here’s why this is significant:
* Mir Amman Dehlavi: He was a prominent writer associated with Fort William College in Calcutta. “Bagh-O-Bahar” was written around 1802, commissioned to provide a simple prose text for British officials learning Urdu. It’s an adaptation of Amir Khusrau’s Persian collection, “Chahar Darvesh” (The Four Dervishes).
* Facsimile Edition: A facsimile edition is an exact reproduction of an original manuscript or printed book. In this case, it means a copy that precisely replicates an edition of “Bagh-O-Bahar” from 1851.
* Importance: Such an edition is highly valuable for scholars, researchers, and collectors. It allows them to study the original text, its typography, any handwritten notes, and the physical form of the book as it existed in 1851, offering insights into the history of Urdu printing and literature.
This specific edition would be sought after for its historical accuracy and the opportunity to engage with the text as it was presented over a century and a half ago.
