ENCYCLOPAEDIA IRANICA. Encyclopaedia Iranica is a project whose goal is to create a comprehensive and authoritative English language encyclopaedia about the history, culture, and civilization of Iranian peoples from prehistory to modern times. It is a project founded by Ehsan Yarshater at Columbia University, started in 1973 at its Center for Iranian Studies, and is considered the standard encyclopaedia of the academic discipline of Iranistics. The scope of the encyclopaedia goes beyond modern Iran (formerly "Persia") and encompasses the entire Iranian cultural continent (namely Afghanistan, Tajikistan, parts of Anatolia and Kurdistan) as well as other geographical areas where Iranian languages dominated at certain times: Caucasus, South Asia, Central Asia, and Mesopotamia. Relations of the Iranian world with other cultures (China, European countries, etc.) are also covered. For Online Reading, Pl.
