پرفسور ایلبراورتایلی: ایرانی‌ها در طول تاریخ همیشه به خود "ایرانی" گفته‌اند. امروزه هم، تا وقتی از یک ایرانی نپرسی به شما نمی‌گوید فارس است یا آذری؛ این ویژگی در میان ایرانیان به‌دلایل فرهنگی دیرپا منحصر به‌فرد است و نه در ما عثمانی‌ها و نه جاهای
دیگر دیده نشده است.

The Rigveda mentions the Persians as "Parshavas" and later as "Parasikas," terms from which the modern word "Parsi" is derived.

Additionally, the term "Arya," meaning "noble," is significant in both ancient Indian and Iranian contexts. In Sanskrit, "Arya" denotes nobility, and this is reflected in the name "Iran," which is related to the Sanskrit "Arya." The ancient Persians also used the name "Arya," and the word survives in "Iran."

Furthermore, the Avesta, the sacred Zoroastrian text, mentions "HaptaHendu" (land of seven rivers), which corresponds to the Sanskrit "SaptaSindhu," referring to the region of Punjab. This indicates a recognition of the Indian subcontinent in ancient Iranian literature.

پروفسور زرتشت ستودِ KFP:
what sasanian called their country
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
The Sasanian Empire, which ruled from 224 to 651 CE, referred to their realm as "Ērānshahr," meaning "Dominion of the Aryans" or "Empire of Iran." This term emphasized their identity as the successors of the Achaemenid Persians and underscored their cultural and political heritage.
THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

The term "Ērānshahr" is derived from Pahlavi where "Ērān" signifies "of the Iranians" and "shahr" translates to "kingdom" or "empire." This designation is evident in various inscriptions and titles from the Sasanian period. For instance, Ardashir I, the founder of the Sasanian dynasty, referred to himself as "Ardašīr šāhānšāh ērān" in Middle Persian, which means "Ardashir, king of kings of the Iranians." His successor, Shapur I, expanded this title to "šāhānšāh ērān ud anērān," meaning "king of kings of the Iranians and non-Iranians," reflecting the empire's territorial expansions.
WIKIPEDIA

The adoption of "Ērānshahr" as the official name of their country highlights the Sasanians' emphasis on their Iranian identity and their role as a unifying force for the Iranian peoples. This nomenclature also underscores the empire's aspiration to revive the glory of the ancient Achaemenid Empire, positioning themselves as its rightful heirs.

During the Parthian Empire (247 BC – 224 AD), the region corresponding to modern-day Iran was known as the Parthian Empire or the Arsacid Empire, named after its ruling Arsacid dynasty. The Parthian Empire was a major Iranian political and cultural power centered in ancient Iran.
WIKIPEDIA

Internally, the inhabitants referred to their land as "Arya," "Iran," "Iranshahr," or "Iranzamin," meaning "Land of the Aryans." These terms have been used by the Iranian people since ancient times, even before the Parthian period.
WIKIPEDIA

Therefore, while externally it was known as the Parthian or Arsacid Empire, internally, the region was referred to by names that emphasized its identity as the land of the Aryans.

The influence of the Persian language on Turkish culture and administration spanned several centuries, beginning with the Seljuk Empire in the 11th century and continuing through the Ottoman Empire until the early 20th century.

Seljuk Empire (11th–14th centuries): The Seljuks, after conquering parts of Iran, adopted Persian as their court language. This period marked the beginning of significant Persian cultural and linguistic influence on Turkish rulers.
IRAN CHAMBER SOCIETY

Ottoman Empire (14th–20th centuries): The Ottomans further embraced Persian, especially in literature and administration. Many educated Ottomans were fluent in Persian, and it was common for Ottoman rulers to compose poetry in Persian. For instance, Sultan Selim I was known for his Persian poetry. Persian remained a dominant cultural and literary language in the Ottoman Empire until the late 19th century.
(NO TITLE)

Language Reforms in the Early 20th Century: Following the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, significant language reforms were initiated under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. These reforms aimed to reduce the Persian and Arabic elements in the Turkish language, replacing them with Turkish equivalents and adopting the Latin alphabet. This movement marked a shift towards a more Turkish-centric linguistic identity.
WIKIPEDIA

In summary, Persian was extensively used and held significant cultural influence among Turkish rulers and the educated elite from the 11th century until the early 20th century, a period spanning approximately 900 years.

In ancient Iranian culture and religions, the sun held significant symbolic and spiritual importance, particularly in Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, and Manichaeism.

Zoroastrianism: In Zoroastrianism, the supreme deity is Ahura Mazda, who embodies light and wisdom. While the sun itself is not worshipped as a deity, it is revered as a symbol of divine light and truth. Fire, representing the divine light of Ahura Mazda, plays a central role in Zoroastrian worship, with fire temples serving as places of ritual and prayer. The sun's daily journey across the sky is seen as a manifestation of cosmic order and the perpetual battle against darkness.
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Mithraism: Mithra, an ancient Indo-Iranian deity, was associated with light, covenants, and the sun. In the eastern Iranian traditions, Mithra is connected to the first rays of sunrise, driving forward in his chariot. In western Iranian traditions, Mithra became thoroughly associated with the sun, and his name became the common word for "sun." Mithraism, which spread into the Roman Empire, depicted Mithra as a solar deity, often shown slaying a bull—a symbol of cosmic regeneration. Sunlight in Mithraism symbolized divine strength, illumination, spiritual rebirth, and ethical instruction.

Manichaeism: Founded by the prophet Mani in the 3rd century CE, Manichaeism was a syncretic religion that incorporated elements from various traditions, including Zoroastrianism. In Manichaean cosmology, light and darkness are in constant struggle. The sun and moon are seen as vessels of light, playing crucial roles in the process of purifying and returning light to the divine realm. Mithra, referred to as Mihr or Mihr Yazd in Manichaeism, is identified with the "Third Messenger," a savior figure concerned with setting up structures to liberate the light lost in the material world.
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Across these traditions, the sun serves as a potent symbol of divine presence, truth, and the ongoing struggle between light and darkness, reflecting its central role in the spiritual and cultural life of ancient Iranian societies.

Voltaire, the prominent Enlightenment philosopher, held a deep admiration for Persian culture and frequently referenced Iran in his works. He often used Persia as a lens to critique European society, highlighting its perceived wisdom and sophistication. His appreciation was so profound that his contemporaries affectionately nicknamed him "Sa'di," after the renowned Persian poet.
BBC.COM

In his writings, Voltaire donned the persona of an old Persian to offer critiques, a technique that allowed him to address sensitive issues indirectly.
CAMBRIDGE.ORG
He condemned Europe's "ignorant audacity" and "ignorant credulity" when speaking of Persia, reflecting his respect for Iranian culture and his criticism of European attitudes.
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Voltaire's engagement with Persian themes was part of a broader Enlightenment interest in Eastern cultures, which thinkers like Montesquieu also explored in works such as "Persian Letters."
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Through these references and his adoption of Persian personas, Voltaire not only expressed his admiration for Iranian culture but also utilized it as a tool to critique and reflect upon European society.

Dante Alighieri, the renowned Italian poet of the late Middle Ages, is best known for his seminal work, the "Divine Comedy." While there is no direct evidence that Dante specifically admired Persian (Iranian) culture or philosophy, scholarly research suggests that his writings were influenced by Iranian thought, which encompasses contributions from Persian scholars.

In the "Divine Comedy," Dante references prominent Islamic philosophers such as Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā) and Averroes (Ibn Rushd), acknowledging their significant impact on medieval philosophy. Avicenna, a Persian polymath, made substantial contributions to various fields, including philosophy and medicine. His works, along with those of Averroes, were instrumental in shaping Western philosophical discourse during Dante's era.
SCHOLARWORKS.INDIANAPOLIS.IU.EDU

Furthermore, scholars have explored potential parallels between Dante's "Divine Comedy" and Ardavirafname narratives, particularly the "Kitab al-Miraj" ("Book of the Ascension"), which details the Prophet Muhammad's night journey through the heavens. While direct influence remains a topic of debate, these studies highlight the transmission of Islamic ideas, some of which are rooted in Persian intellectual traditions, to medieval Europe.
TRAVERSINGTRADITION.COM

Beyond Dante, the broader Italian appreciation for Persian culture and philosophy has evolved over centuries. Cultural exchanges between Italy and Iran have been formalized through various treaties and programs, fostering collaboration in fields such as language, arts, and education. Notably, a Treaty on cultural cooperation was established in 1958, leading to numerous initiatives aimed at strengthening bilateral cultural relations.
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

In contemporary times, Italian scholars and institutions have shown a keen interest in Persian literature and cultural heritage. For instance, Italian experts have collaborated on projects to expand and enhance the National Museum of Iran, reflecting a deep respect for Iran's artistic and historical treasures.
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

In summary, while Dante may not have explicitly expressed admiration for Persian culture, his works exhibit influences from Islamic philosophy, which includes significant Persian contributions. Over time, Italy's engagement with Iranian culture has grown, leading to mutual appreciation and collaborative efforts that continue to enrich both societies.
