FarsiSaraŽ develops and operates a database of online
Persian literature site serving the research needs of
scholars, professors, and departments of Middle and Near
Eastern studies in North America and Europe.
Founded and launched in 2001, FarsiSaraŽ integrates
reviewed and corrected literature from over 35 poets and
mystics along with an interactive dictionary with
Persian-to-Persian, Persian-to-English, and
English-to-Persian capabilities. FarsiSaraŽ also
incorporates a unique search-in-Persian option that
circumvents the oft-encountered problem of
transliteration and various spellings that result from
it.
Detailed List of Our Services:
-
Poets: This service incorporates over 35 poets of
various eras based on their name. All other than Hafez
require registration.
-
Poem
Style: This section allows you to search on the basis of
the style of poem, i.e. Ghazal, Qasidah, Do-Baiti. This
service is particularly helpful with regards to less
common styles such as Tarji'-Band, Mustazad, Mukhammas,
Murabba', etc. when used for demonstration or teaching
purposes.
-
Dictionary: This section has our comprehensive
120,000-entry Persian-to-Persian dictionary that to our
knowledge is unique to FarsiSara, in that it utilizes
our search-in-Persian feature. In addition, our
Persian-to-English and English to Persian dictionaries
have over 40,000 entries each.
-
Books: Imagine having just added over 55 books to your
personal library! Many of the old Persian books do not
have an "appendix" or an "index," hence making the job
of the researcher tedious. Our Search-in-Persian option
allows navigation through these books all at once. This
section also allows for reading each book from cover to
cover.
-
Persian Names: The Names section of FarsiSara is a
service we offer for free, so that you can search in
over 90,000 names from Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and
French origins that are commonly used amongst the
Iranians. You may choose the letter(s) with which the
names begin or ones that the names contain.
The FarsiSaraŽ online service simplifies the way
scholars and enthusiasts alike find and use their
desired literature, poem, or prose, helping them to
minimize the valuable time often spent in old Persian
texts that often do not have a table of contents or an
index. FarsiSaraŽ is committed to the advancement of
research and publication in the field of Persian
literature and believes that time spent in synthesis
rather than data collection is the key to the
contribution of scholars and graduate students to this
field. FarsiSaraŽ is also open to adding more options
and literature to its site in an attempt to foster the
most user-friendly environment.
