Mohammad Moin (Persian: محمد معین, his surname could also be transliterated as Mo'in; July 12, 1914, in Rasht, Iran – July 4, 1971, in Tehran, Iran)[1] was a prominent Iranian scholar of Persian literature and Iranian Studies.

  1. ^ Date of birth July 12, 1914, is according to Professor Mo'in's own notes. However, some sources indicate April 29, 1918, as the date of birth. The latter date seems somewhat unlikely, since it would imply that he should have obtained his BA at the age of approximately sixteen, requiring his entrance to university at approximately twelve or perhaps fourteen, depending on the duration of the BA course. Increasing these values by four leads to reasonable ages, leading one to consider July 12, 1914, as the correct date of birth.
