Soruri Kashani (Persian: سروری کاشانی: died after 1626) was a poet and lexicographer in 16th and 17th century Safavid Iran, who composed the Persian dictionary Farhang-e Soruri.
[1] His father Hajji Mohammad was reportedly a shoemaker, which Soruri also worked as early in his career before switching to book learning.
[1] He also composed a shortened version of the dictionary, known as the Kholasat al-Majma, whose opening included the approval of Shah Abbas I's grand vizier Hatem Beg Ordubadi.
The index of the Sepahsalar Library mentions a copy of the work in a private collection with the year 1609/10, which indicates that was the latest date of its composition.
Soruri moved to Isfahan, where he encountered the Italian traveller Pietro Della Valle in November 1622.
