The Persian Book Of Kings
Firdausi's great epic poem, "The Book of Kings" or "Shahnama", does for the formative myths, legends and early history of Iran what Homer's tales do for the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. This book explores the literary context of the poem, Firdausi's world, and the manuscript's royal provenance. It also provides an overview of the story.
