This memorial volume is dedicated to one of the most proli?c and renowned scholars in the ?eld of Ancient Iranian Archaeology and History, the late Professor Klaus Schippmann (1924-2010), who held the chair of “Near Eastern Archaeology with special reference to Iran” at Georg-August-Universitat of Gottingen until his retirement in 1990. The volume consists of eleven papers written by some of the foremost scholars in the ?eld of Iranian Studies as well as some of his lifetime friends and colleagues. The articles are essentially concerned with different aspects of Ancient Iranian Art, Archaeology, History, Numismatics and Religion, re?ecting Klaus Schippmann’s scholarly interests. The volume also presents parts of his unpublished private diary (1959) from his Nachlass, reflecting his ideas, visions and memories of his excavations as well as a report of his last trip to his favourable archaeological site of ta?t-e soleyman (Iran), written by his personal tour leader. The book is illustrated by numerous plates.
