Neilson Carel Debevoise (November 8, 1903 – December 10, 1992) was an American historian of ancient
Debevoise's Political History of Parthia was the first comprehensive history of the Parthian Empire to be written since George Rawlinson's The Sixth Great Oriental Monarchy (1873), published 65 years previously.[4][5] It became the standard work on the topic,[4] and was translated into Persian in 1963. In 2008, Valery P. Nikonorov published a Russian translation of the Political History with an extensive bibliographical supplement on scholarship on the empire since 1938.[1] In his introduction to the translation, Nikonorov calls Debevoise's work "totally unique for its time",[6] and praises the book for its "high scientific level" and "breadth of coverage and depth of interpretation".[7]
