Shahnameh is the book of Iranian culture and the document of our cultural identity as Iranians. Therefore, the SAMT organization has considered it necessary to include the editing and interpretation of the Shahnameh in its publishing program as it deserves this honorable book. This book which is called “Ancient Book” is the first volume of a ten-volume collection that will include editing and interpretation of the Shahnameh from beginning to end. In this volume, from the beginning of Shahnameh to the kingdom of Manouchehr, it has been edited and described. The scholar author, Dr. Mirjalaloddin Kazzazi, in the description of verses and analysis of stories, has used knowledge and perspectives such as lexicography, etymology, physiognomy, mythology, symbolism, stylistics, and aesthetics. In aesthetics, verses have been explored and studied from the views of three branches of rhetoric sciences, Badi, Ma’ani, and Bayan. In stylistics, historical transformations of language have been considered. In etymology, the origin and background of the terms have been studied and the Pahlavi script form of the terms has been obtained.
