Abstract
Each manuscript of the Shāhnāmeh possesses unique value, and the study of any ancient copy yields meaningful insights. A version of the Shāhnāmeh was transcribed in the margins of Ẓafar-Nāmeh of Mustawfī in 808 AH (1405 CE), yet it has remained inaccessible and unexamined until now. This article presents a preliminary assessment of this manuscript based on three surviving folios, images of which were found in an unpublished dissertation from the University of Manchester.
