Loghat Namah of Dehkhoda
The Encyclopaedic Dictionary of the Persian Language
Ali Akbar Dehkhoda
New Edition
The late scholar Ali Akbar Dehkhoda began compiling the Loghat Namah [The Encyclopaedic
Dictionary of Dehkhoda] during World War 1. By the end of 1980, the last volume of this
monumental work was published. The nearly 70 years of continuous effort to compile the
work, and nearly 45 years to publish it, led to a multiplicity of problems with the first
edition. Although these problems are small when compared to the original monumental task
of bringing the work to print, the importance of the work and the place it occupies in the
study of Persian language, literature and culture make it necessary to publish a second
edition that eliminates these shortcomings.
In the new edition the entire work has been thoroughly edited and copy edited by a team of
experts. The work has been typeset using the latest available Persian language typesetting
machine. Each sentence has been checked and double checked for accuracy. Instead of being
offered in individual fascicles, the work is now in bound volumes. Alphabetical order is
carefully observed. Finally, the best possible paper stock for such works is used in the
new edition. Known as the “Bible paper,” this is a very thin, but highly opaque
paper that allows the ink to adhere to the surface without seeping through. Each volume
holds approximately 1,500 pages of text, but does not exceed 3.5 centimeters in thickness
and 1.5 kilograms in weight. As a result, the new edition is now available in 15 volumes.
Specifications:
1995: 15 volumes.
ISBN: 1-56859-038-5(cloth): $1,095.00
[Shipping charges: Within the United States, $27.95 Other countries by surface
mail, $56.00]
