Summary: Classical Persian lexicon

Summary: The Steingass Comprehensive Persian-English Dictionary
Review: Steingass's dictionary is a useful tool for all those studying the Persian language, and in particular to those more interested in poetry and classical Persian. This comprehensive dictionary includes not only words and phrases, but also pronunciation aids (especially important for reading poetry). There are words in the dictionary which are not usually used in modern Persian, but on the whole it is an important and significant tool for Persian researchers and students.
