Gondēshāpūr was the intellectual center of the Sassanid empire and the home of the ''Academy of Gundishapur''. Founded by Sassanid king Shapur I, Gundeshapur was home to a teaching hospital, and also comprised a library and a centre of higher learning. It has been identified with extensive ruins south of Shahabad, a village 14 km south-east of Dezful, to the road for Shush, in the present-day province of Khuzestan, southwest Iran. It is not an organised archaeological place as of today, and except of the ruins it is full of remainings like broken ceramics. Despite the fame, recently, some scholars have called Gundeshapur's overall historical importance, specifically, the existence of its hospital, into question. ==Name== The Middle Persian word ''Gondēšāpūr'' (or ''Gundēšāpūr'') is a corrupted form. It may be from ''wandēw Šāpūr'', means "acquired by Shapur",〔"Gondēshāpūr" in ''Encyclopaedia of Islam''〕 or from ''Gund-dēz-i Shāpūr'', means "military fortress of Shapur",〔("GONDĒŠĀPUR" ) in ''Encyclopædia Iranica''〕 or from ''Weh-Andiyok-Shāpūr'', in which ''Andiyok'' means "Antioch". In Classical Syriac, the town was called ''Bēth Lapaṭ''; in Greek ''Bendosabora''; in (アラビア語:جنديسابور) ''Jundaysābūr''; and in New (ペルシア語:گندیشاپور). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gundeshapur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
