Item Description:[Indischer Fürstenspiegel d. Bidpai, arab.]. - Kalila and Dimna was originally written in Sanskrit, probably in Kashmir, sometime in the fourth century A.D. by a fictious persona named Bidpay. In Sanskrit it was called the Panchatantra, or "Five Discourses." Three hundred years later, after the Muslim conquest of Persia and the Near East, Ibn al-Mukaffa' chanced upon Burzoeʹs Pehlavi version and translated it into Arabic in a style so lucid it is still considered a model of Arabic prose
