safina house

Safīna-yi Tabrīz (Persian: سفینهٔ تبریز, "[The] Vessel of Tabriz" or "[The] Treasury of Tabriz") is an important encyclopedic manuscript from 14th century Ilkhanid Iran compiled by Abu'l Majd Muhammad ibn Mas'ud Tabrizi between 1321 and 1323.
"Safina" (Persian: سفینه, Arabic: سفينة) 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' (جُنگ) which means a collection of essays or poems.
