] To the above concise sketch of the history of Tabaristan for the periodwhich concerns us, which I have translated from Justi, one of the mostsympathetic writers on Iran, a few paras may be added from thefascinating history of _Ibn-Isfandiyar_ which professor Browne has madeaccessible to us. Long after the Sasanian dynasty had fallen, and the rest of Persia hadbeen subdued by the Arabs the Ispahabeds continued to strike theirPahlavi coinage and maintained the religion of Zoroaster in themounta...ins and forests of Tabaristan; and their struggles with the Arabsonly ended about A. D. 838 by the capture and cruel execution of thegallant Maziyar, son of Qaren, son of Wanda-Hurmuz. For a vividportrayal of the last days of this unfortunate scion of the lost empireof the Iranians the reader is referred to the vivid page of this Englishauthority, who has reproduced the story of Zoroastrian aggressions inall its original spirit. And nothing less could be expected from aprofound and sympathetic scholar to whom "All that concerns Maziyar isof supreme interest because it stands for the old Persian national andreligious ideal".
