Research of Shahnameh or Shahnameh study (Persian: شاهنامه پژوهی) is the study of the Persian-language epic poem Shahnameh, its author, Ferdowsi, its historical context, and its relation to Iranian literature.[1] Subtopics within the field include the study of geography, terminology, etymology, mythology, symbology, stylistics and aesthetics in relation to the Shahnameh.

Area

Due to the age and fame of Ferdowsi and Shahnameh, the field covers a very wide area. Almost all Shahnameh scholars specialize in a specific topic or branch of Shahnameh study.

Mohammad Rasouli, an Iranian scholar of the Shahnameh, stated that: "Iran's history is more than 14 thousand years, not 2500 years; Shahnameh is a prose history of Iran that is written in verse".[2][3]
