MAIMAND

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 430 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MAIMAND , a
town
  in the province of Fars, Persia, a few miles
east
  of Firuzabad and about 70 M. from Shiraz. It has a
population
  of about 5000, almost wholly occupied with the manufacture and sale of rose-water, which is largely exported to many parts of Persia as well as to Arabia,
India
  and Java. The
district
  also produces
great
  quantities of almonds. The
rose gardens cover several square miles. In 1349 a
great
 
part
  of Maimand and of three little villages belonging to it became wakf (pious endowment) of the shrine at Shiraz of Mir Ahmed, surnamed Shah Chiragh, a son of Musa Kazim, the seventh imam of the Shiahs, and the
remainder
  of the Maimand grounds was given to the shrine by Mir Habbib Ullah Sharifi and by Shah Ismail in 1504; the administration of the Maimand
property
  as well as the guardianship of the shrine is still with the descendants of Mir Habbib Ullah.
