The Shahnameh book (composed between 1010-997) is an epic work related to the Middle Ages, which was written by the poet Abd al-Qasim Ferdowsi (1020-940) with the aim of preserving the legends, myths, history and culture of ancient Iran.
This work was commissioned by Mansur I (reign: 961-976 AD) from the Samanian dynasty (819-999 AD) and encouraged the growth and development of Persian literature. The work of collecting and writing the Shahnameh was started by Dakhihi (977-935 AD) and after his death, after writing only the initial parts of the work, by Ferdowsi during the Ghaznavid dynasty (1186-977 AD), who showed relatively less enthusiasm for the work. They were giving, it ended.
The Shahnameh displays the entire history of ancient Iran, from the creation of the world until the invasion of the Muslim Arabs in 651 AD and the overthrow of the Sassanid dynasty (224 BC - 651 AD), which is the last great dynasty of the ancient Iranian empire.
