Badiozzaman Forouzanfar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Badiozzaman Forouzanfar was an outstanding master of Persian literature, Iranian linguistics and Iranian culture. He is believed to be one of Iran's top Rumi scholars of 20th century.

He was a distinguished professor of literature at Tehran University. Forouzanfar did life long research on Molana Jalaleddin Balkhi (Rumi) and his works.

Critical edition of Diwan e Shams (in 10 volumes) by Forouzanfar is the best edition of the book available to date. The same is true for the critical edition of Mathnawi by B. Forouzanfar and Jalal Homaei.

The first critical edition of Fihi ma fihi has been also done by B. Forouzanfar, which is now well known in the West thanks to the selective translation of A. J. Arberry.
