Abstract
Two hundred years ago, the first comprehensive work on Persian literature titled the History of Persian Literature was published in Vienna. The author was student of a school founded by Maria Thereza, named the Royal Academy of Eastern Languages, or in short, “School of Translators”. The famous orientalist and royal interpreter, Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall (1856-1774) worked for 25 years to publish this book. By publishing his works in the first half of 19th century, he made a major contribution to acceptance and efficacy of Persian literature in German-speaking world. The present paper studies the backgrounds of publication of this book, and especially its seventh chapter, which discusses Persian language in Qajar era.
