Badiozzaman Forouzanfar

Badǐ'ozzamān Forǔzānfar (c.1899 Boshrooyeh in Ferdows County- 1970 Tehran) (PerB|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. The same is true for the critical edition of Mathnawi by B. Forouzanfar and Jalal Homaei.

Forouzanfar, which is now well known in the West thanks to the selective translation of A. J. Arberry.
