src="/uploads/images/Yarshater_2.jpg" alt="Ehsan Yarshater" width="100" height="136" align="top" />Professor Ehsan Yarshater was the Hagop Kevorkian Professor Emeritus of Iranian Studies at Columbia University and Director of its Center for Iranian Studies. He authored and served as the editor of numerous scholarly works. Among many notable works, he authored Persian Poetry in the Second Half of the 15th Century (1953), Southern Tati Dialects (1970), and edited the third volume of Cambridge History of Iran, in two parts, covering the Seleucid, Parthian and Sasanian periods (1983, 1986), and Persian Literature (1988). He was the General Editor of the 40-volume Tabari Translation Project, and the Founding Editor of the Persian Text Series, the Persian Heritage Series and the Persian Studies Series. Lecture series in his name have been instituted at Harvard, the University of London, and the University of California at Los Angeles.</p> <p>Since the inception of the Encyclopædia Iranica, along with Professor Yarshater and for more than three decades, many editors have contributed to the volumes of Encyclopædia Iranica. Below is a non-exhaustive list:</p> </div> <div style="float: left; display: block; clear: both;"> <p><strong>Managing Editor: Ahmad Ashraf</strong></p> <p><img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" title="Ahmad Ashraf" src="/uploads/images/Ashraf_Photo.jpg" alt="Ahmad Ashraf" width="100" height="136" align="top" />Ahmad Ashraf has taught sociology and the social history of Persia at the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Princeton University, and Tehran University. He is the author of several books and numerous articles, including Historical Obstacles to the Development of Capitalism in Iran (1980). His writings have covered such topics as social hierarchies in Persia, tradition and modernity, Iranian national identity, agrarian relations in Persia, and charismatic leadership and theocratic rule in post-revolutionary Persia. Dr. Ashraf served on the editorial board of the <em>Iranian Studies, International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society,</em> and <em>Iran-Nameh.</em> Since 1992, he has served as a Trustee-at-Large of the American Institute of Iranian Studies.</p> </div> <div style="float: left; display: block; clear: both;"> <p><strong>Associate Editor: Nicholas Sims-Williams</strong></p> <p><img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" title="Nicholas Sims-Williams" src="/uploads/images/Sims-Williams_Photo.jpg" alt="Nicholas Sims-Williams" width="100" height="136" align="top" />Nicholas Sims-Williams is currently Professor of Iranian and Central Asian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. He studied Iranian languages and Sanskrit at Cambridge University and went on to do a Ph.D. there under Dr. Ilya Gershevitch, his thesis being an edition of a fragmentary manuscript containing Christian texts translated from Syriac into Sogdian, the Iranian language of medieval Samarkand. This was later published as The Christian Sogdian manuscript C2, Berlin 1985, and awarded the Prix Ghirshman of the Institut de France. Professor Sims-Williams was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1988 and is also a member of the French and Austrian Academies. He is particularly interested in the Middle Iranian languages of pre-Islamic Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia, being equally fascinated by the languages themselves, with their Indo-European roots, and by their Central Asian setting, with its stimulating mixture of languages, cultures, and religions.</p> </div> <div style="float: left; display: block; clear: both;"> <p><strong>Associate Editor: Mahnaz Moazami</strong></p> <p>Dr. Mahnaz Moazami is a graduate of the Universities of Tehran and Paris-Sorbonne, where she studied Old and Middle Iranian languages, and historical anthropology of ancient religions.
