Firdausi's Shahnama or “Book of Kings” is the longest poem ever written by a single author: Abu’l-Qasim Hasan Firdausi, from Tus in northeastern Iran. His epic work narrates the history of Iran (Persia) since the first king, Kayumars, who established his rule at the dawn of time, down to the conquest of Persia by the Muslim Arab invasions of the early 7th century A.D. It is a work of mythology, hi

story, literature and propaganda: a living epic poem that pervades and expresses many aspects of Persian culture. Hundreds of manuscript copies of the text, the earliest dating from 1217, exist in libraries throughout the world. Large numbers of these are illustrated with miniature paintings, some of them among the most magnificent masterpieces of Persian art. Indeed, it would be possible to trace the whole development of Persian painting and the arts of the book relying purely on examples taken from the Shahnama. This iconic text has nurtured many different fields of study, but there has seldom been an effort to bring these strands together. Despite the enormous continuing appeal of Firdausi’s poem, it is remarkable how few modern studies exist, either of the history of the Shahnama, or of the text and its illustration.
