Abstract
The initial idea of this book is about ten years ago, when a group of scientists conducting research at the Foundation for Iranian Studies and the preparation of the book "describes the Persian Gulf in Historical Maps" was. The work of collecting and studying historical maps of the time began. Geography and Cartography Project in collaboration with the late professor, Professor Mohammad Hassan Ganji, a year before the completion of this book at the age of one hundred and one died and the father of modern geography Iran won a big share in further research I historical map played. Or rather working student I mentor until his death continued joint scientific work of several books and articles lowest achievement I learned a lot that I learned from him.
For some time now that historical maps in various fields of science and useful applications. In historical geography, history, political science, linguistics and even. . . . Use the maps, especially in the geographical areas in a given area or possibly conflict with more countries. Because in this geographical illustrated documents with important information such as territorial boundaries, political boundaries, natural conditions, geographical names, cities and villages and Qrargrftgy. . . Compared with other documents and resources are best expressed. Thus, the preparation and printing of books Atlantic geographical maps have become popular. Ruben Galychyan two notable work on historical maps of Armenia, as well as two excellent books on Iran, including recent works are Cyrus Alai. But the tasks that are available with maps of all the non-Persian languages such as English Azerbaijani, Russian, Turkish, Armenian and Arabic are. So vacancies Book atlas with the subject matter of historical maps of Azerbaijan to Persian to separate fans was annoying. Perhaps because it is open to some domestic sensitivities and concerns that apathy has led researchers to work on historical maps of Azerbaijan, but I personally think no luck Iranian Persian or Azeri scholars to lack of knowledge and access They relate to historical maps. Nonetheless, I hope that the first geographical atlas of historical maps of Azerbaijan, which is now before you could be useful in studies of Azerbaijan-fall. Although usually the first step in any research gaps and slippage may be facing in the future work that deserves to be correct and complete.
The main purpose of the book is focused on the study of cities and villages of Azerbaijan. This means that all the concepts included in the map of Azerbaijan is presented as a map. Obviously, due to the presentation of courses and maps in a variety of languages in books dealing with different names and sometimes obsolete. As a result, one of the basic functions of research, study, change and evolution over time based on the geographical location and name concepts maps.
Is the oldest maps of the first century AD to the mid-twentieth century's most recent maps of the book belongs. The geographical position of Azerbaijan and its relevance over a long time period is two thousand years. A total of 190 geographical map through hordes gathered and classified maps have been chosen. Credit mapping, scientific information presented in maps, not damaged, and observe the duration of the key factors in the selection of the 190 maps.
Determine the extent of the territory of Azerbaijan are inevitable outcome of other important books. Maps often have clear historical Azerbaijani territory: since that historic and vast material was a part of the state, as long as the current political boundaries are formed. This major historical event maps have clearly documented period of two millennia without any ambiguity, the historical Azerbaijan within the current provinces of East Azerbaijan and Ardabil Iran is that of identity and meaning. However, due to various developments which have long seen its borders change as well. In this regard, it is possible that some parts of Azerbaijan, Gilan, East, or South East Zanjan, mountains and cities of Kurdistan in the north, even in the South West part of the country or parts of Anatolia in the West and Armenia in the north in its place or is lost, but there is always the ancient cities such as Tabriz and Ardebil, Maragheh, Marand and Salmas and temperament. . . Within three provinces in northwestern Iran said that Azerbaijan is a land called identity and historical existence.
