The Sassanians
The rise of the Sassanians is better documented than subsequent history, but even so there are conflicting versions of the origin of Ardashir. The first capital of Ardashir in Fars most likely was at Firuzabad, then known as Gor, although later in the reign of Ardashir it received the name Ardashir-khwarreh 'the glory of A', probably in honour of his victories over the Parthians. The Sassanians respected and feared the mighty Roman Empire and con…

Ever Changing America: The Universities
Every spring at colleges and universities in the USA students organized protests against some policy of the government, and frequently the dissent continued as in the case of the Vietnam war. If there was no specific action or project to which students could direct their ire, an international organization, such as the World Bank, could receive the complaints of demonstrators. The lack of specific targets, however, might lead to an attack on gener…

Persia in the Mind of the West
This article traces the stereotyping of Persia in the popular imagination of the 'West' from ancient Europe until the America of the twentieth century. The author shows how Persia has changed from being seen in ancient times as a respected enemy, to an envied enemy, a respected friend, a despised friend, and currently a despised enemy. He recognizes that the present day embodies the lowest opinion that both sides have held of each other. He hopes…

Zurvanism Again
The scholar concerned with the pre-Islamic religious history of Iran is beset with many difficulties, not the least of which is the great paucity of native sources. Consequently, he frequently must have recourse to India for parallels in the early period, and to Classical, Syriac and Armenian sources for much of his material in Parthian and Sassanian times. Furthermore, the temptation to import whole patterns of religious thought from neighboring…

Sasanian Numbers and Silver Weights
Over a number of years inscriptions on Sasanian silver plates have been published by various scholars, but in spite of progress several problems have remained, especially one connected with the weight system of pre-Islamic Iran. The interpretation of one series of signs had baffled me, as it had other investigators in the field, and I had proposed at first tentatively to read the signs as MP salāk “ingot”, but with a technical meaning of a weight…

Oriental Studies in Afghanistan
IN THE PAST western orientalists have been inclined to regard their eastern colleagues with a good deal of scepticism, in many cases with justification. Orientals, in studying their own culture and history, have often been prejudiced with nationalistic or racial bias. In the last decade, however, many Indian, Iranian, Turkish, and Arab scholars have made important contributions to Oriental Studies. In Afghanistan a start has also been made with p…

The Middle Persian Inscription at Sar Mashhad
In 1924 Herzfeld discovered the largest (in size) Middle Persian inscription extant, near the village of Sar Mashhad in the province of Fārs. It was never published, and in the summer of 1948 when in Iran I made a trip to the site. The literary remains of Herzfeld, with which I had been occupied, gave scant detail about the location and condition of the inscription, but with the aid of local people, especially Muhammad Hani of the village of Balā…
