Corpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum

The Corpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum is a UK-based organisation of scholars from around the world that aims to publish a comprehensive and permanent record of Iranian inscriptions, defined in the broadest sense, up to the early Safavid period.

The aim of the work includes inscriptions and documents (as opposed to literary texts) in Iranian languages, whether actually found in Iran or elsewhere, and those in non-Iranian languages if they were found in Iran or are versions of texts also occurring in an Iranian language.

The CII normally pays for the publication of works accepted for its main series; and is also able to make grants towards the cost of relevant publications elsewhere.

Publications

The CII’s main series is published on its behalf by SOAS. Please find a full list of available publications:
