A Review of Anjoman Ara-ye Nasseri Dictionary

Reza Qoli Khan Hedayat is a contemporary literary figure. He has many works and writings، among which one can refer to his Anjoman Ara-yi Nasseri dictionary. The dictionary is made up of three parts; introduction، words section، and ironies section. The dictionary، in fact، follows Jahangiri dictionary and Burhan-e Qate'' and other dictionaries compiled prior to that of his. Unfortunately، some instruction words from this dictionary and Burhan-e Qate'' have entered the Persian Language and poems by masters of poetry including Sheibani and Adib ul-Mamalek Farahani، which has caused confusion in Persian language vocabulary. However، Anjoman Ara dictionary includes many valuable poems and examples as well as wise criticisms by the author in various parts of it، giving the dictionary a critical mood.
