en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 apr 2024
This volume is an annotated correspondence, of nearly forty years, between two prominent Orientalists. The letters cover a range of topics related to the Zagros Mountains, its peoples, their history, culture, and languages. They also offer a glimpse into the personal lives and careers of the two scholars, give valuable insights on the development of the field of Kurdish Studies, and to an extent outline the contours of what the two referred to as Zagrology.

Recenzii

“Like every academic discipline, Iranian Studies should also be aware of the unknown treasures to be found in archives and estates of deceased scholars, that can serve to help us better understand the discipline and the circumstances of its development. This book brings to life the letters exchanged between two important scholars of Iranian and Kurdish studies: the towering figure of Vladimir Minorsky, the leading and most prolific specialist of his time, and C.J. Edmonds, the diplomat-scholar, both of whom combined their political experiences with academic research to produce some extraordinary publications, especially on the history and language of the Kurds. This timely book provides a welcome glimpse into an academic and personal friendship of two exceptional and exemplary scholars of their time.”

“This book holds paramount importance for students and scholars specializing in Iranian and Kurdish Studies. By advancing ‘Kurdology’ and introducing the term ‘Zagrology’, Minorsky and Edmonds provide indispensable contributions for those exploring the depths of Iranian and Kurdish cultural landscapes. Beyond merely marking the inception of these fields, this work serves as an invaluable guide, navigating readers through pivotal moments in scholarship. It stands as an indispensable cornerstone in the study of Iranian and Kurdish history, language, and culture, offering a profound resource that enriches scholarly pursuits in these disciplines.”
