Autorenporträt
Cyrus Alai was born in Iran and received his Ph.D. degree (Dr.-Ing.) from 'Die Technische Universität, Berlin-Charlottenburg'. He founded a group of engineering companies in Iran which he directed for twenty years, and he also lectured at the University of Teheran for eight years. Dr. Alai settled later in England, working as a consulting engineer and at the same time studying the history of cartography and collecting old maps of Persia. He has written numerous articles on 'the cartography of Persia' and 'the traditional cartography of classical Islamic societies', including the entry 'Geography: Cartography of Persia' for the Encyclopaedia Iranica. His book General Maps of Persia was published by Brill in 2005.
