Abstract
This article offers a definition and classification of educational books and outlines seven periods in the history of textbooks in Iran. It then turns to examine the catalogue of textbooks held at the Library of Āyatullāh al-‛Uẓmā Burūjirdī, enumerating three primary positive features of these books and highlighting certain works from this list that hold historical value. The article also recalls prolific and influential textbook authors from the Qajar and Pahlavi eras, and concludes with several corrections and annotations on subsequent points. Finally, it situates this bibliography and catalogue as research relevant to the field of children’s and adolescents’ literature.
