Payman (Persian: پیمان [peɪˈmɑːn], literally 'Promise') was a cultural and political magazine in Iran. It was one of the periodicals which was published and edited by Iranian religious reformist Ahmad Kasravi in the period 1933–1942.[1]
The first issue of Payman appeared in December 1933.[1][2] The title of the magazine was a reference to another magazine with the same name in which Ziya Gökalp, an Ottoman nationalist intellectual, published articles at the beginning of the 20th century.[3] Kasravi's close ally Reza Soltanzadeh was the editor of Payman.[4] Nearly all the articles published in the magazine were written by Kasravi.[2] Payman came out biweekly during the first six months.[5] Then it was published on a monthly basis and became the official organ of the political party, Azadegan, in 1941 when Kasravi founded the party.[1][2]
In the first seven years the subtitle of Payman was gozaresh-e sharq va gharb (Persian: Account of East and West).[6] Then it was changed to dar bareh-ye shenakhtan-e jahan (Persian: On Knowing the World) and gozaresh-e jahan (Persian: World Report).[6] Payman folded in 1942 and was succeeded by Parcham.[1][4]
