Studies in the History and Culture of the Persianate World
Reflecting the British Institute of Persian Studies’ role in stimulating and promoting research into all aspects of Persian and Iranian Studies, the BIPS Persian Studies series exists to provide an outlet for the work conducted in this field and welcomes proposals for book length publications in the form of research monographs, conference proceedings or other edited volumes. The series is particularly ready to serve as a vehicle for publishing research undertaken with the support and sponsorship of BIPS and arising out of one of its research programmes.
The series was first produced by I.B. Tauris under the editorship of Professor Vanessa Martin, and has now been taken on by the Gingko Library. The series editor is Professor Andrew Peacock (University of St Andrews), who is joined on the editorial board by Dr Paul Losensky (Indiana) and Professor Gabrielle van den Berg (Leiden).
The Advisory Board is composed of Professor Ali Ansari, Dr Michele Bernardini, Dr Melanie Gibson and Professor Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak.
