The famous Persian dictionary of Sayyid Abdurrashid, now quite difficult to locate, is an historic dictionary to which linguists still make reference. The Farhang I Rashidi was compiled by the Persian scholar Abd ur-Rashid bin Abd ul-Ghafur Husaini al-Madani al-Tattawi (d. 1653) who lived in Thatta, what is now the Sindh province of Pakistan. Abd ur-Rashid was an influential scholar in the Mughal Empire during its period of supremacy. One of two dictionaries compiled by Abd ur-Rashid, this lexicon, presented entirely in Classic Persian, this historic achievement marks a turning point in Persian lexicography and ranks as one of the cultural and literary achievements of the seventeenth century. The two volumes of this historic dictionary are here bound together, providing an affordable alternative to earlier two-part editions.
Zulfaqar Ali was the first Persian Maulawi at the Calcutta Madrasah, The second volume included the assistance of Aziz Urrahman, Maulawi at Presidency College, Calcutta.
