Description
The "Encyclopedia of Iran" (Daneshnameye Iran) by Kazem Mousavi Bojnourdi is a comprehensive reference work encompassing a wide range of knowledge related to Iran and beyond. Its articles, mostly of moderate length, are sourced through three primary methods: translation, adaptation, and original contributions. Approximately three-fifths of the content is translated from well-known international encyclopedias, ensuring a robust foundation of global scientific and cultural achievements. Another one-fifth is derived from the "Great Islamic Encyclopedia," a separate project by the same center, where articles are summarized, rewritten, and adapted by a dedicated team familiar with its structure. The remaining one-fifth of the articles, are focusing on pre-Islamic and contemporary Iran, are original compositions crafted by specialized academic teams.
