Amirkabir (publisher)

Amirkabir Publisher (Persian: انتشارات امیرکبیر; also Romanized as Amir-Kabir) is a publisher based in Tehran, Iran, founded on November 19, 1949, by Abdorrahim "Taghi" Ja'fari. It is named after Mirza Taghi Khan Amirkabir, the famous Iranian consul in Qajar era.

For the chancellor of Iran, see Amir Kabir.

Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Iranian government seized Amirkabir's assets. Subsequently, the organization's new owners imposed a new management structure. The publishing house is still active, but only publishes previously published material, classics, and conservative new books.[1]

Amirkabir is the current publisher of The Persian Encyclopedia.
