Abstract:
Ancient literary stories must be told in a simple and fluent language in order to be compelling and comprehensible to today's audience. The process of narrating these tales in contemporary language should be in accordance with the principles that have two main axes: First, maintaining the structure of the story and the style of the author, and second, its conforming to the audience’s language and understanding. In this regard, rewriting and returning the stories of Shahnameh to prose, in addition to paying attention to the level of the audience, also requires knowledge about Ferdowsi's style and expression. On the other hand, attention should be paid to summarizing and simplifying stories. Each of the Shahnameh's rewrites has some degrees of summarizing and omitting story or artistic effects. But the omission of some sections damages the original structure of the story, does not reveal Ferdowsi's art in composing stories for the audience. There are several ways to convey these points and the story to the audience as completely as possible. Considering the linkage of the Shahnameh headers with the structure of the story, our suggestion in this article is to use this manuscripts of the Shahnameh based on their headings. As a notable example, we have used the Florence version, which is the oldest available version of the Shahnameh and while reviewing some of the problems in rewriting this work, we have provided solutions for more accurate rewriting.
Machine summary:
In line with the fact that the Florence manuscript is not free from errors—like other manuscripts—it is necessary to pay attention to this example: in two instances of the incipits of the story of Zal and Rudaba, the name Soudaveh (= Soudabeh) is recorded instead of Rudaba, which, by comparison with the verses and subsequent incipits References Ansari, Paria and Abdolhossein Farzad (2018) "Presentation of desirable indicators for rewriting and storytelling of epic works in children's and young adult literature with emphasis on Ferdowsi's Shahnameh", Journal of Epic Literary Research, No. 26, Autumn and Winter, pp.
In addition, names are mentioned in their ancient forms in the headings, which can be used for recording in heroism Abundance of headings Understanding details and useful and avoiding complete recognition mentioning details and providing * * headings characters sufficient information useless story recognition necessity of being cautious mentioning names and explanation complete character this explanation is for the purpose of * * performance of individuals from characters not becoming tedious in prose maintaining structure precise representation observing introduction and conclusion * Ferdowsi's style codified structure of the work for sections expressing description after expression indirect mention of descriptions appropriately * * important and attractive headings content audience level performing speech Since maintaining the original structure of the story and Ferdowsi's style is of great importance for rewriting, to maintain the basic foundations of each story, one must refer to the verse text of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh and extract its artistic and narrative aspects.
