Summary:

A multi-disciplinary reference work and research tool designed to record the facts of Iranian history and civilization. A precisely documented reference work on the lands, life, culture and history of all Iranian peoples and their interaction with other societies. 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. Please note: the online version of the Encyclopædia Iranica has thousands of entries, of which a considerable number of entries are only available on the Internet, through the letter Z (posted out of alphabetical turn); the print edition will eventually be complete as a multi- volume set .
