		Encyclopaedia Iranica Foundation (a public foundation, tax-exempt by law) was formed to help fundraise for the project.
		As the Encyclopaedia benefits from the National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) grants, its budget needs to be approved by NEH which receives semi-annual reports about the progress of the Encyclopaedia.

		Here is how the entry on Abu-Hanifa begins in the new Encyclopaedia Iranica: "Abu-Hanifa Dinavari, grammarian, lexicographer, astronomer, mathematician, and Islamic traditionalist of Persian origin" Kurds have not yet thought of claiming the legacy of their own prestigious native son, and Arabs and Persians are clamoring over his appropriation.
		The biased treatment of the Encyclopaedia of Islam and the Encyclopaedia Iranica of the question of the nationality of the scholars they describe has already been reviewed; no "accidents" were found to be responsible for their respectively pro-Arab and pro-Persian falsification of history.
		The editors of the Encyclopaedia of Islam or Encyclopaedia Iranica, for example, are unlikely to approve of this development because such is bound to result in their having to rewrite large portions of their defective product to make room for the Kurdish share of Middle Eastern history.

		PRESS RELEASE Please note, this press release is a joint announcement by the Center for Iranian Studies, the Persian Heritage Foundation, and the Encyclopaedia Iranica Foundation.
		With the appearance of the first volumes of the Encyclopedia Iranica their joint vision of a monumental work both to record the achievements of the Persian heritage and to contribute to its continuing vitality by encouraging new lines of inquiry and fresh reappraisals became a reality.
		At a time when, in spite of current financial constraints on bold and innovative scholarly projects, the Encyclopedia is set firmly on its course and its unique contribution recognized worldwide, her irreparable loss is even more poignantly felt by those who have known her crucial but unobtrusive contribution towards this very success.

	Review of Encyclopedia Iranica [MESA Bulletin, Dec 1994]
		Those who are familiar with Volumes I-V of the Encyclopaedia Iranica already know that its editor, Professor Ehsan Yarshater, has not only insisted that this encyclopedia would be exceptionally comprehensive, but that he has also encouraged many of his contributors to submit essays that represent innovative and original scholarship in Iranian studies.
		Notable throughout is that the editors have succeeded in attracting entries from the widest possible range of scholars–in Europe and North America, Iran, Afghanistan and India and countries of the former Soviet Union, especially Central Asians whose works were previously known only to those who read Russian.
		Indeed, Iranian and Soviet scholarship is a prominent feature of this Encyclopaedia, as it has long been central and critical to the broad field of Iranian studies.

		Still, politics and intrigue aside, Qajar (Kadjar) orders and decorations are a fascinating topic of research, and objects of artistic interest and esthetic appeal, to say nothing of their historic importance.

		Although in general Western usage orders are badges reflecting the distinction of belonging to select societies, whereas decorations and medals are awarded in recognition of various types and levels of civil or military achievement or service, in Persia there are no orders in the Western sense, but only decorations and medals.
