Xavier De Planhol

Xavier De Planhol

Xavier de Planhol is an Emeritus Professor of Geography at the University of Paris-Sorbonne and a universally acknowledged authority on political geography. From 1958, when he began to publish monographs and articles during his first fieldwork in Azerbaijan, and later in the Alborz region of Iran, to his monumental and highly acclaimed, "Les Nations du Prophète" (1993) and "Minorités en Islam" (1997), he has maintained his deep interest in Persia and the Iranian civilization. He is also a contributor to Encyclopædia Iranica, submitting articles ranging from "Abadan" to "Boundaries", "Cholera", "Darya?", "Earthquakes", "Famines", and a series of forthcoming articles on "Geography". A bibliography of Professor Xavier de Planhol’s wide-ranging publications up to 1995, has been compiled and published by Professor Daniel Balland in "Geographie Historique et Culturelle de l’Europe: Hommage au Professor Xavier de Planhol", by Jean-Robert Pitte (1995).
