Call for Submissions to 14th Intl. Festival of Razavi Book of Year
According to the Secretary of the event, Seyyed Jalal Hosseini, “This festival was initially held in 2010, and Hamedan (in western Iran) hosted the first and second rounds. From the third round on, Mashhad has been hosting the festival given Imam Reza shrine capacities.”
“Overall, some 3,745 works have been submitted to the secretariat during all the previous rounds, out of which some 410 books in Persian and other languages were submitted in the 13th round,” added the secretary.
Stressing that the upcoming round would be aimed at enhancing the quantity as well as the quality of the festival, Hosseini stated: “The primary objective of the 14th round is expanding scientific, cultural, research, literary and artistic activities regarding Imam Reza’s life and conduct.”
This round of the event is about eight main topics including ‘Hadith & Narrators’, ‘Ethics & Educational Science’, ‘Islamic Jurisprudence & Law’, ‘Philosophy & Theology’, ‘Psychology’, ‘Social Sciences’, ‘Biographies, History & Anthropology’ and ‘Imam Reza’s Medical Science: Old & New Approaches’.
