Province of Jurist


By ‘Province of Jurist,’ the author has certainly meant Velayat Faghih, i.e. the fundamental principle of Islamic Republic of Iran’s political structure that reserves final word in almost all cases for the Supreme Leader, a notable clergyman. Velayate Faghih roughly translates into: premiership of the knowledgeable clergyman.

My diagnosis: The author opens Babylon Dictionary, searches the Persian term Velayat in it, and finds only one English equivalent for it: Province. (Note that Velayat in Persian means both premiership and residence.) He (she?) again searches the Persian term Faghih and finds Jurist for it. Period.

Birth and death Replica Watches of Philippe le Bel, revocation of the edict of Nantes, wedding of Louis XV and Fake Rolex Watches Marie Leszczynska, princely baptisms, of which those of the future Louis XIII and Napoleon III Panerai Replica, abdications of Napoleon... So many events in the history of France, alternately happy or tragic, the Castle of Fontainebleau was the scene. If, over eight centuries of almost uninterrupted sovereign presence, memoirists and writers in have delivered us the testimony.
