about us
Farhang Moaser Publishers began work in 1981 by reprinting a collection of bilingual English/Persian dictionaries by S. Haim. Although in the early days we published fiction and other books our aim was to print reference books and therefore, in the following years we focused on publishing only reference books.
From the beginning we believed that writing and publishing a dictionary is not something you do once, but due to the constant changes in languages and lexicography this is an ongoing process and dictionaries must be revised and edited constantly, because even the latest dictionary becomes dated very quickly. To pursue this goal, we invited a group of renowned linguists and professors of language to work with us. The most important activities in our research unit have been: editing and revising older dictionaries, writing new dictionaries and preparing,revising and editing dictionaries that have been written outside our research unit.
In the past twenty five years since the research unit was first established we have published leading monolingual and bilingual dictionaries as well as encyclopaedias which areavailable to students, researchers and pupils. We hope that in the coming years we can publish an extensive range of dictionaries and reference books for a wide audience, from children to specialists.
