TheEncyclopædia Iranica
is a multi-disciplinary reference work and research tool designed to record the facts of
Iranian history and civilization. In fact, it is the only precisely documented
reference work on the lands, life, culture and history of all Iranian peoples and
their interaction with other societies. It is to benefit scholars, students,
as well as intelligent general readers.
From the biographies of notable men and women in every field of endeavor to descriptions
of all Iranian cities and monuments (ancient and modern), from oil installations to
major banks, from Zoroastrian scriptures to Jewish shrines to Islamic rituals,
from Persian classics to modern novels, from Iranian flora and fauna to Persian music
and folklore, from philosophy and mysticism and Persian calligraphy to Persian and
Afghan architecture, no aspect of life in Iranian and related cultural areas is neglected.
