The narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 07598+6508 is known to be a stong Fe II emitter. The analysis of several high S/N ratio spectra shows that
its spectrum is dominated by a relatively narrow “broad line” region
(1780 km s-1 FWHM) emitting not only Fe II, but also Ti II and Cr II lines. Although we were unable to find a completely satisfactory physical model,
we got the best agreement with the observations with collisional rather than
radiative models, with a high density ( cm-3), a high column
density (NH = 1025 cm-2) and a microturbulence of 100 km s-1.
This BLR is qualitatively similar to the one observed in I Zw 1. We have not
found traces in IRAS 07598+6508 of the narrow line regions found in I Zw 1.
