History and profile
Majalleh-ye Estebdad was launched in Tehran in 1907.[1][2] The founder was Sheikh Mehdi of Qom, known as Sheikh al-Mamalek, who also edited the magazine.[1] The first issue appeared on 16 July 1907.[3] It was a hand-printed publication.[4] For the issues 1–17 the format of the magazine was 16.5x20.5 centimeters, whereas for the issues 18–34 it was 10x16.5 centimeters.[3]
