Abstract

Of the most essential tasks should be done in the field of researches on Shāhnāmeh is collecting and analyzing its sporadic verses in other works of Persian old literature. The purpose of such approach is Shāhnāmeh correction.   
Since there is a 200 years gap between the time Shāhnāmeh was composed (400 AH) up to the time of its earliest version(Florence, 614 AH) and since there are almost some other versions belonging to 7^th and 8^th centuries AH (less than 10 versions) the Shāhnāmeh corrector must consider every other sources beside existing manuscripts of the book. Among the side sources, there are some sporadic verses of Shāhnāmeh in the texts of 7^th and 8^th centuries which have remained as handwritten manuscripts.
Taj al-moaser, as a prominent example of above mentioned sources, is the book has been chosen to extract the Shāhnāmeh verses to be compared with their positions in Shāhnāmeh itself.
