''Safīna-yi Tabrīz'' ((ペルシア語:''سفینهٔ تبریز''), "() Vessel of Tabriz" or "() Treasury of Tabriz") is an important encyclopedic manuscript from 14th century Ilkhanid Iran compiled by Abu'l Majd Muhammad b. Mas'ud Tabrizi between 1321 and 1323. "Safina" is an Arabic word meaning "vessel". In term of manuscripts, it denotes a special form of a book whose cover is elongated. Thus when the book is opened, it resembles a long vessel. In Persian use, 'safineh' is a synonym for 'jong' () which means a collection of essays or poems. == Discovery and scope == Based on the manuscript, the book has been published in facsimile by Tehran University Press.〔Abu'l majd Muhammad ibn Masu'd Tabrizi. Safineh-ye Tabriz: A treastury of Persian literature. Tehran University Press, 2001〕 As it constitutes a rare Islamic manuscript that has recently been discovered, it has generated a great deal of interest among Islamic, Iranian and Middle Eastern scholars. It is almost perfectly preserved, and contains 209 works on a wide range of subjects, in Persian and Arabic as well as some poetry denoted by Fahlaviyat and the Iranian language of Tabriz. According to Professors A. A. Seyed-Gohrab and S. McGlinn, The Safineh: ''is indeed a whole treasure-house, compressed between two covers''. One of the important features of the Safinah is that it contains works of a number of philosophers who were not known until the discovery of the manuscript. The texts of the Safina-yi Tabrizi contain separate chapters covering 〔S.A. Al-e Davud, A Review of the Treatises and Historical Documents in Safīna-ye Tabrīz in: Seyed-Gohrab, A. A. & S.

McGlinn, some of ''the best available texts of important works of Islamic culture and learning'' are contained in this work.〔A.A. Seyed-Gohrab & S. McGlinn, The Treasury of Tabriz The Great Il-Khanid Compendium, Iranian Studies Series, Rozenberg Publishers, 2007〕 Several recent conferences have been held in Iran as well as the West discussing the different aspects of this book. The two most important conferences with this regard were held in the University of Leiden () and the University of Tabriz in Iran. The conference held in the city of Tabriz where the work was composed was designated with the theme: ''Tabriz in the mirror of The treasury of Tabriz''. According to Professor Seyyed Ali Al-e Davud: ''The picture one gets from the 7th and 8th century Islamic era from the Safina Tabriz is a complete picture of the cultural, scientific and social settings of that time''. One of many aspects of this manuscript deals with Islamic philosophy. In his recent book 〔Nasr. S.H, Islamic Philosophy from Its Origin to the Present: philosophy in the land of prophecy, Published 2006SUNY Press〕 Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr has described the manuscript as an ''earth shaking discovery''. Dr. Nasr provides a brief overview of the philosophical treatise of the Safina. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Safina-yi Tabriz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
