Amirkabir (publisher)

Amirkabir (publisher)

Amirkabir is a publisher based in Tehran, Iran, founded on November 19, 1949 by Abdorrahim "Taghi" Jafari. It is named after Mirza Taghi Khan Amirkabir, the famous Iranian consul.

Amirkabir's assets were seized by the Iranian government after the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and a new management structure was imposed. The publishing house is still active, but only publishes previously published material, classics, and somehow conservative new books.

Amirkabir is the current publisher of The Persian Encyclopedia.
