Stanford Builds Valuable Persian Collection for New Islamic Studies Dept.



Banani, who earned a doctorate from Stanford in 1959, donated his professional library of more than 2,000 items, including Persian literature published in Iran and abroad, contemporary Iranian history, literary journals and manuscripts. The collection adds to more than 7,000 items recently donated by Ali Djalali, former editor of Kayhan, a Tehran newspaper, who left Iran around the time of the Islamic Revolution. That collection includes ephemera such as posters and handbills from anti-Shah rallies in this country, Eilts said.”
