Treasury of Persian proverbs is a dictionary of 2002 selected Persian proverbs. All proverbs in the book are grouped in these categories: proverbs, proverbs-in-verse, conventional phrases, and dialogue proverbs. Each entry appears in the original Persian, followed by a new English translation, an explanatory note on the meaning and usage of the proverb, the English equivalent proverb if found, and finally the phonetic transcription of the Persian proverb in Latin alphabet. The book's English foreword is by Wolfgang Mieder. A Persian foreword by Ahmad Abrishami, and English and Persian indexes are included.
