@__amirhosein__ در ضمن اگراشاراتی را که گفتید دیدید و نگفتید که آن اشارات وجود دارند و حتی در مورد قتیبه که در نرشخی آمده، بحث هم شده، و همان نکات را در «نقدتان» تکرار کنید، به خواننده این را متشبه می‌کند که نویسنده این اشارات را نیاورده و ازیشان بی‌خبر بوده، که حداقلش بی‌انصافی است.

[Historians of Iran @HistorianofIran]

@__amirhosein__ اگر اشارات را دیدید که تمام نقدتان در مورد سه مهاجرت و قس که بی‌‌جاست. چون نه در اینجا انتقال فارسی نو «نخستین» از غرب به شرق انکار شده نه در آثار بازورث و فرای که اینجا مورد ارجاع بوده. دلیل ابن‌ندیم هم «ترجمه» نیست که ابن مقفع هم به عربی نوشته! مسئله به روز کردن یک نقل قول است.

[Historians of Iran @HistorianofIran]

@__amirhosein__ اگر برای یک مقاله علمی‌ جواب علمی دارید، جایش در شبکه اجتماعی نیست. مقاله علمی بنویسید. اینطور بخش‌هایی از مقاله را کژ فهمیدید و برمبنایش آمدید مثلاً در عرصه عمومی نقد کردید که در حرف اصلی مقاله که «فارسی نو کلاسیک» از بخارا آمده فرقی ایجاد نمی‌کند.

[Historians of Iran @HistorianofIran]

@__amirhosein__ نمی‌دانم کی هستید و چرا در توئیتر مقاله را اشتباه خلاصه می‌کنید و با استفاده از «ادعا» سعی در منفی‌نمایی دارید. ولی اگر مقاله را دقیق بخوانید، هم جواب ابن مقفع شما را داده است و هم به مهاجرت‌ها و بخصوص فتوحات قتیبه اشاره شده و ورود «فارسی نو نخستین» از غرب به شرق را توضیح داده.

Did the Sasanians remember the Achaemenids... or should they have?

The logo of Ērān, Tūrān, & Hrōm is designed by @rasoulipour.

It is based on a coin of Phrom Kesar, a king of Kabul in the 8th century, whose name means “Caesar of Rome”! A one man embodiment of late antique connections.

You can read more about it here: https://t.co/A00w8Z14cN

An online Symposium on Iranian Studies. What could be more fun? :)

[Historians of Iran @HistorianofIran]

On this anniversary of the US/UK coup against Dr. Mossadedegh, here is thread on his forthcoming book on these events by a former host of @HistorianofIran, @gbrew24.

[Gregory Brew @gbrew24]

OTD in 1953, a coalition of #Iran groups toppled the govt of PM Mohammed Mosaddeq. The operation was planned, funded, & supported by the CIA and British intelligence.

This thread details the coup's stages, described in "The Struggle for Iran," out in Jan. 2023 from @UNC_Press 1/

On Gopadshah/Gōbadshah, the “crowned bull-man” of Iranian mythology.

[Simcha Gross @Simcha_Gross]

Excellent 🧵 by @sasanianshah

A fascinating 10th-century Jewish source by Nathan Ha-Bavli (the Babylonian) knows of Shirin as well.

It describes how the Exilarch Uqba went to Kermanshah to entreat the "Sultan" who had vacationed there "because there were old monuments."

Meanwhile, she was quite involved in efforts to get her son, Mardanshah, to the position of the heir to the throne. This probably annoyed Kavad Shiroe, Khosroe's elder son, and drove him to the arms of the conspirators who ran a coup against Khosrow in early 628.
