The Forgotten Kings
''The Forgotten Kings'' (; also ''The Unknown Rulers'', ''The Forgotten Shahriars'' and ''The Anonymous Kings'') is a Chronicle account by Ahmad Kasravi. it is wrote since late 1928 to 1929, which includes documentary research on several At that time unknown and anonymous post-Islamic to pre-Seljuk Empire Iranian dynasties. Kasravi believes that the reason why these dynasties remain unknown until now is illiteracy and neglect of Iranian history reading and the destruction of documents by dynasties such as the Safavids. Kasravi has used handwritten sources such as Abu'l-Hasan Isfaraini, Ibn Khordadbeh, Hafiz-i Abru and Al-Tabari in writing this book.

Zabân-e Pâk
Zabân-e Pâk () is a treatise written in 1944 by Ahmad Kasravi, an Iranian author, contains an edition of the Persian language, which shows some difficulties in refining the language. Kasravi saw one of the steps in the progress of Iran and achieving a democratic society as reforming the Persian language.

Inspired by the principles of lexicography and grammar of Esperanto, he made what he saw as corrections and refinements to the Persian language. Kasravi says in this regard: If you have heard that Dr. Zamenhof has created a language called Esperanto from the rules of kno ...

Azari Or The Ancient Language Of Azerbaijan
''Azari or the Ancient Language of Azerbaijan'' () is a treatise written by the Iranian scholar Ahmad Kasravi in 1925, about the history of the Azeri language.
