This long epic grew out to be an icon of Persian culture and served as a source of inspiration for art and literature, leaving its traces in manifold ways. The contributors to this volume each treat an aspect of the rich legacy of the Shahnama and offer new insights in Shahnama manuscript studies, the illustration of the Shahnama, the phenomenon of later epics, and the Shahnama in later texts and contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations Abbreviations Contributors Note on Citations of the Shahnama  Introduction  Part 1: The Reception of the Shahnama: Later Epics  1 Banu Gushasp in the Shahnama: A Case Study of the British Library Ms. Or. 2926 and the Interpolated Banu Gushaspnama  Marjolijn van Zutphen  2 The Demon Barkhiyas at the Well of Bizhan  Charles Melville  3 Rustam’s Grandson in Central Asia: The Sistan Cycle Epics and the Shahnama Tradition  Gabrielle van den Berg  4 The Interplay of Oral and Written Traditions in Persian Epics: The Case of the Barzunama in the Haft Lashkar  Kumiko Yamamoto  5 A New manuscript of the ShahrIyArnAma attributed to Mukhtari of Ghazna from the collection of the Ancient India and Iran Trust  Maria Szuppe  Part 2: The Shahnama in Later Contexts  6 The Shahnama in Timurid Historiography  Michele Bernardini  7 The Sulaiman-nama (Süleyman-name) as an Historical Source  Fatma Sinem Eryılmaz  8 A Storyteller’s Shahnama: Meddâh Medhî and His Şehnâme-i̇ Türkî  Tülün Derğirmenci  9 The Shahnama Legacy in a Late 15th-Century Illustrated Copy of Ibn HusAm’s Khavaran-nama, the GulistAn Palace Library, Tehran, Ms. 5750  Raya Shani  Part 3: Textual Studies  10 Persian Medieval rewriters between auctoritas and authorship: the Story of Khusrau and Shirin as a case-study  Christine van Ruymbeke  11 Rebels, Virtuous Adorers And Successors: The Agentic Daughters of the Shahnama  Alyssa Gabbay  Part 4: Art History and Manuscript Studies  12 Zahhak from Cambridge and Bahram Gur from Geneva: Two Unpublished lustre Tiles with Shahnama verses  Firuza Melville  13 Illustration as Localization: A Dispersed bijapuri Manuscript of the shahnama  Laura Weinstein  14 The Baysunghuri Manuscript in the Malek National Library   Shiva Mihan  General Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210740818263,"sku":"9789004356245","price":144.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/shahnama-studies-iii-the-reception-of-the-shahnama-9789004356245","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
