Abstract

As one of prominent Persian historic/literal works, Rahat al-Sodur has many derivations of Shahnameh. 594 distiches of Shahnameh in different theologic and moral subjects cited in this work, initially show the magnificence of Ferdowsi’s masterwork, and then, on the other hand, Ramandi’s interest and attachment to it. He(Ramndi) has benefitted Ferdowsi’s wise morals throughout his work, and in this way, has validated it and has composed many verses on Shahnameh’s style and rhythm, although not as solid as what can be seen in Shahnameh but with a firmness that makes it hard to distinguish.
Shahnaneh’s cited dispatches in Rahat al-Sodur, because of the “very careful” correction of Dr. Mohammed Iqbal, as Mojtaba Minavi says, and for the two works isochronism, can be considered as a very helpful clue to Shahnameh correctors. In this essay the rate of Rahat al-Sodur’s influence on correction of Shahnameh is discussed and the scientific reasons of the preference of Rahat al-Sodur’s dispatches are offered.
