ABSTRACT
The year 2006 will witness the centenary of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran, an event that remains a topic of great interest to scholars who are assisted in their research by an abundance of printed material. Two sources that appear regularly as references in most histories are those of Edward Granville Browne and Ahmad Kasravi. In 1888 Edward Browne became lecturer of Persian at the University of Cambridge and subsequently became Thomas Adams Professor of Arabic. He was the author of many works including The Persian Revolution 1905-1909, which was published in 1910 and has been reprinted on several occasions, the latest being in 1995.1 This book has been an important source of information, both for Western scholars and also for Iranians,2 including Ahmad Kasravi himself in his History of the Iranian Constitution (Tarikh-e Mashruteh-ye Iran).
