Index of Persian Encyclopedia by Ahmad Monzavi – Vol. 5

Description

The "Index of Persian Encyclopedia" by Ahmad Monzavi is a groundbreaking bibliographic endeavor that catalogs Persian literary works from the early Islamic era to the end of the lithographic printing period. This initiative originated as part of a broader project by the Center for the Great Islamic Encyclopedia to compile a comprehensive bibliography of Islamic texts. Ahmad Monzavi proposed creating a focused catalog of Persian texts, including books, treatises, and letters, arranged alphabetically by title and categorized by subject. The center embraced Monzavi's proposal, recognizing its alignment with their goals, and provided resources to support its execution. This monumental work serves as a vital reference for scholars, historians, and researchers, preserving the rich literary and cultural legacy of Persian civilization.
