Farhang-i Fārsī: bar asās-i nuskhahʹhā-yi khaṭṭī-i mawjūd dar Chīn

Compiled in the early 16th century within the cultural milieu of China, this edition of Farhang-i Fārsī by Ḥusayn Vafā’ī offers a unique window into the history of the Persian language in East Asia. Based on rare manuscripts preserved in Beijing and edited by the scholar Tīn Hūy Jū, the text demonstrates the extensive reach of Persian as a language of commerce and scholarship along the Silk Road during the Ming dynasty. This publication by Dānishgāh-i Tihrān makes accessible a lexicographical work that had long served the needs of Persian speakers and students in China, providing valuable insights for researchers of linguistic history and Sino-Iranian cultural relations.
