Danesh (; Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft: Daneà ¡; English: "knowledge") is the title of seven different Persian-language magazines published since 1882. This biweekly science magazine was the first one published in Tehran by the University of DÃÂr al-fonà «n in 1882.
By order of the Minister of Science 'Alëqolë Khan Moḵber-al-Dawla, who worked under NÃÂá¹£er-al-Dën Shah (1264âÂÂ1313 / 1848âÂÂ96), a total of 14 issues were edited.
DÃÂnesh was the first free-of-charge magazine in Iran which offered free advertising as well. The magazine probably aimed to close the gap caused by the closure of the well-known science magazine Rà «z-nÃÂma -ye'elmë. The leading editor was Moḥammad KÃÂáºÂem, a science teacher at DÃÂr al-fonà «n, who had studied in Europe. In addition to KÃÂáºÂem, other teachers also published articles on scientific and medical topics and their own opinions. Moreover, the magazine was considered to be a mouthpiece of the Ministry of Science.
