Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the Shahnameh is a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author or peer review process, hence the lower tier, though useful for the epic's well documented composition by Ferdowsi and its manuscript and reception history. NotesRead directly. Cited for the poem's composition dates (begun 977, completed 1010), its length of roughly 50,000 couplets, and the Daqiqi episode in which about a thousand verses on King Gushtasp and the coming of Zoroaster were incorporated into Ferdowsi's own poem with acknowledgment.
