Some Criticisms on the First Volume of Shahnameh Edited by Djalal Khaleghi-Motlagh

The publication of Shahnameh by Khaleghi-Motlagh was a grand evolution in the study of Shahnameh and manuscript editing in Iran. Khaleghi’s direct invitation of critics in his introduction to investigate all the verses of his edit and also various discussions about manuscript editing in Notes on the Shahnameh by him has opened a new horizon for the scholars of this field. We presented some criticisms on the first volume of Shahnameh edited by Khaleghi-Motlagh using Khaleghi’s editing method, Ferdowsi style and San Jozeph manuscript along with other marginal resources. And based on it, we criticized some of Khaleghi’s meaning understandings in Notes on the Shahnameh.
