Abu-Mansuri ShahnamehorThe Shahnameh of Abu-Mansur[1][2] (Persian: شاهنامهٔ ابومنصوری) was a prose epic and history of Persian Empire before Muslim conquests. It was the main source for the ShahnamehofFerdowsi. The Shahnameh of Abu-Mansur is now lost, but its preface which consists of 15 pages, has survived[3] and is one of the oldest examples of Persian prose and is considered one of the most valuable heritages of Persian literature. The Shahnameh of Abu-Mansur was composed at the order of Abu Mansur Muhammad in 346 AH (April 957 AD).[4] It was composed by four mowbeds: Old Mākh from Herat, Yazdāndād son of Shāpur from Sistan, Shāhooy-e Khorshid son of Bahrām from Nishapur, Shādān son of Barzin from Tus. Before Ferdowsi, Abu-Mansur Daqiqi tried to versify the Shahnameh of Abu-Mansur, but he died after writing almost 1000 verses. Ferdowsi has included these 1000 verses in his Shahnameh.
