Dialogue of Civilizations
In recognition and appreciation of the work of Western scholars on the history of Iran the
government of Iran gave as a present a historic princely mansion to Professor Richard Frye in
August 2010 in the historic city of Isfahan, a former capital of Iran..
Following that, there have been communications between the government of Iran and Professor
Frye, a continuation of the concept of Dialogue Between Civilizations, proposed by former President
Khatami of Iran.
Below are communications from the president of Iran to Professor Frye, representative of this
dialogue.
