چکیده:
One of the most important documents and reasons for supporters of the theory of the written nature of the Shahnameh's source is that Ferdowsi refers to the existence of an ancient book in the Shahnameh and adds that he has arranged it into verse. After presenting this narrative from the 'Shahnameh,' the author of this essay proceeds to quote and explain similar examples in the Literary Culture of Iran and also in some other peer and similar culture encyclopedias. In all these examples, it is stated that an ancient book existed, but for various reasons, it had become fragmented and scattered; then the author found the components of that ancient book and, by joining those parts, recreated and revived the book. The author of this essay aims to show that such an image of an ancient book that has become scattered and torn apart and then recreated is actually a type of metaphor for oral poetry, and this metaphor can also be found in a wide spectrum of oral traditions that have evolved independently of each other.

1. Introduction The main subject and axis of this essay is a brief narrative found in the Shahnameh, an ancient Persian text, the immortal composition of Ferdowsi (meaning a heavenly man in etymology) from the early fifth century AH.
Other ancient Persian narratives containing themes related to the "Book of Kings" Two narratives from the introduction of [the Shahnameh of] Baysunghur I will begin my discussion with an ancient Persian prose text that contains two other narratives, and these two narratives are very similar in content to the poetic narrative I provided from Ferdowsi's Shahnameh.
Another dilemma and complexity exists in the realm of transmission: as can be inferred from Ferdowsi's own words, the original prototype of his Shahnameh is introduced as a text in the Pahlavi language, and it is his responsibility to transform the Pahlavi prose of the book into Persian verse.
20 Based on this comparative evidence, I am of the opinion that the Middle Persian narrative regarding a book that was fragmented and scattered and then collected, which appears in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, can be traced back to earlier Iranian traditions.
