Encyclopaedia Iranica Joci - Kasgari (Encyclopedia Iranica (Bound Volumes)) - gebunden oder broschiert

The Encyclopaedia Iranica covers topics related not only to modern Persia but also to the whole Iranian cultural world, including in-depth treatment of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Kurdistan. Articles also delve into historical and cultural relations with nations such as Egypt, Britain, India, and China. Spanning ancient, medieval, and modern times, the Encyclopaedia reveals the geographical, archaeological, cultural, religious, governmental, and biographical details that have left their mark on Iranian society.

Hundreds of international scholars writing from their own specializations have contributed to this defining work. All articles have been translated into English and meticulously edited by experts at the Center for Iranian Studies at Columbia University, with the assistance of an international advisory committee and 42 consulting editors. Many photographs, drawings, maps, charts, and tables enhance these detailed articles, which include full bibliographies, documentation, and cross-references.
