چکیده:
Until today, Most scholars consider these scrolls as rooted in oral tradition and belonging to oral literature. The present thesis will argue against this position and will present evidence to support this opposition. It appears that these prose Shāhnāmehs (Tūmārs) relied on ancient sources. In addition, there is no document to prove the continuity of the chain of oral narration of these narrations. This paper, by searching in ancient written epic sources, and compare them to Zariri’s narrations, indicate that Zariri, had six major and written sources in narrating the stories of his scroll: (1) Ferdowsi’s Shāhnāmeh. (2) Pre-Ferdowsi Shāhnāmehs-- directly or indirectly. (3) Early historical sources. (4) Epic poems. (5) Interesting narratives of adjacent countries and regions. (6) a collection of written sources that Zariri had collected to write his scroll. Accordingly, it is necessary to doubt the absolute knowledge of the sources and intermediaries of the narrations of this scroll in the stories which is shared with Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh.

Now, it must be said that with this volume of written sources in the Sassanid era (many of whose names Ibn al-Nadim mentioned in Al-Fihrist) and this number of Shahnamehs in the Islamic era (including the Shahnamehs of Abu al-Muayyad al-Balkhi, Abu Ali al-Balkhi, Masoudi Marvazi, Piruzan, Rostam Larjani, Abu Mansuri, and Ferdowsi) and other Shahnamehs of which we have no news, what reason is there to say that the Naqqals narrated their stories from oral sources?
It is obvious that the main point of the present article is that, probably, the narrations of the Naqqali Shahnameh originate primarily from ancient written sources (and not oral literature), but rather from Shahnamehs predating Ferdowsi, and most of its stories and narrations have great antiquity in terms of writing.
