McGill University's impressive library collection contains approximately 334 Persian manuscripts acquired over a period of eighty years by esteemed scholars such as Casey A. Wood, Max Meyerhof, and Wladimir Ivanow. The manuscripts collected by Ivanow, a Russian scholar, come from Lucknow and Sandila in northeast India, where most of them had been copied, making them of great interest to paleographers and codicologists. Adam Gaceks' catalogue describes these manuscripts, which embrace all aspects of Islamic literature, including Qur'anic exegesis, tradition, jurisprudence, philosophy, theology, mysticism, history, belles lettres, and science. Works in medicine and the natural sciences, particularly hunting, falconry, and farriery, are well represented. The Persian manuscripts are preserved in four McGill University collections, the Blacker-Wood Library of Zoology and Ornithology, the Osler Library of the History of Medicine, the Islamic Studies Library, and Rare Books and Special Collections Division. Forty-one are illuminated while twenty-two contain painted illustrations. The catalogue is arranged alphabetically by title, which is given in transliteration and Arabic script.

Wladimir Velminski is a Researcher in the Department of Slavic Studies at the University of Zurich, a Research Fellow at the International Research Institute for Cultural Technologies and Media Philosophy of Bauhaus University, and an Associated Member at the Hermann von Helmholtz Centre for Cultural Technology of Humboldt University of Berlin.In October 1989, as the Cold War was ending and the Berlin Wall about to crumble, television viewers in the Soviet Union tuned in to the first of a series of unusual broadcasts. “Relax, let your thoughts wander free...” intoned the host, the physician and clinical psychotherapist Anatoly Mikhailovich Kashpirovsky. Moscow's Channel One was attempting mass hypnosis over television, a therapeutic session aimed at reassuring citizens panicked over the ongoing political upheaval―and aimed at taking control of their responses to it. Incredibly enough, this last-ditch effort to rally the citizenry was the culmination of decades of official telepathic research, cybernetic simulations, and coded messages undertaken to reinforce ideological conformity. In Homo Sovieticus, the art and media scholar Wladimir Velminski explores these scientific and pseudoscientific efforts at mind control.In a fascinating series of anecdotes, Velminski describes such phenomena as the conflation of mental energy and electromagnetism; the investigation of aura fields through the “Aurathron”; a laboratory that practiced mind control methods on dogs; and attempts to calibrate the thought processes of laborers. “Scientific” diagrams from the period accompany the text. In all of the experimental methods for implanting thoughts into a brain, Velminski finds political and metaphorical contaminations. These apparently technological experiments in telepathy and telekinesis were deployed for purely political purposes.
