Badiozzaman Forouzanfar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Badǐ'ozzamān Forǔzānfar (c.1903 - 1970) (Persian: بدیعالزمان فروزانفر ) was a scholar of Persian literature, Iranian linguistics and culture, and an expert on Molana Jalaleddin Balkhi (Rumi) and his works. He was a distinguished professor of literature at Tehran University.
Critical edition of Diwan e Shams (in 10 volumes) by Forouzanfar is the best edition of the book available to date.[citation needed] The same is true for the critical edition of Mathnawi by B. Forouzanfar and Jalal Homaei.[citation needed] 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.
