Sarouyeh
Sarouyeh (Template:Langx) was a large library in ancient pre-Islamic Iran. The 10th century chronicler Ahmad ibn Rustah refers to it as "Sarough" (Script error: No such module "Lang".). The Fars Nameh of Ibn Balkhi calls it Haft Halkeh (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[1]
The library, located near where the city of Isfahan is today,[2] may have been from the era of Tahmuras,[3] in ancient Iran. Majmal al-tawarikh also mentions the library.
Ibn Sa'd al-Iṣfahānī, in the surviving translation of his book Maḥāsin-i Eṣfahān (Script error: No such module "Lang".) edited by Abbas Eqbal Ashtiani, gives both the real and the mythical traditions of the foundation and re-foundation of the library.[4]
Abbas Milani describes the fortified collection of writings and documents as follows:
