Persian language encyclopedic dictionary by Mohammad Moin
Mo'in Encyclopedic Dictionary (Persian: فرهنگ فارسی معین, Farhang-e Mo'īn) is the second largest Persian encyclopedic dictionary. It was collected and integrated by Professor Mohammad Mo'in.
History
The Moin Encyclopedic Dictionary was compiled during a 19-year period (1947-1966) under the administration of Mohammad Mo'in. After his death in 1971, the dictionary had been completed by Ja'far Shahidi.
Finally, it was published in 1972 by Amir Kabir Publishers in Tehran, Iran, in six volumes — four volumes for Persian words, compounds, and expressions, and two volumes for proper nouns.
The dictionary has not been updated since its first publishing, but has been reprinted many times by several publishers inside Iran.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as persian language encyclopedic dictionary by Mohammad Moin. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3462918. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1947, 1966, 1971 and 1972.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
