Nama-i Farhangistan (Persian: نامه فرهنگستان; translated: Writings of the Academy), was a Persian-language magazine that was published monthly in Tehran between 1943 and 1947.[1] A total of 10 issues in 5 volumes were published.[2]
Description[edit]
The magazine was the publication organ of the Academy of Iran (pers. Farhangistān-i Īrān), founded in 1935, the predecessor of the Academy for Persian Language and Literature, and thus became an important pioneer for linguistic research and language reforms in the Pahlavi era.[3]
Among the members of the Academy were well-known politicians and diplomats, numerous famous Iranian writers and scholars of that time, such as Abbas Iqbal (1896-1955), the founder of the magazine Yadgar, and Ali-Akbar Dehchoda (1879–1956), the co-founder of the magazine Sur-e Esrafil and author of the Dictionary of Dehchoda (Loghat-nāme-ye Dehchodā) - the most important and comprehensive dictionary of the Persian language and literature.[2]
The Academy, whose primary objective was to preserve and protect the Persian language, in particular used the journal for publishing Persian equivalents to replace certain foreign words.[2] From 1995 on the publication organ experienced a quarterly reprint of the same name.[4]
