As one of the ancient and valuable texts of Persian literature, Ferdowsi's Shahnameh contains epic and historical concepts. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is an unparalleled work that has been highly regarded by painters in the field of Iranian painting, and the art of painting is a factor in the permanence of meaning through its aesthetic manifestations. The Shahnameh under study is called "Muntakhab-i Shāhʹnāmah-i Ḥakīm Abū al-Qāsim Firdawsī, ʻalayhi al-raḥmah va al-maghfirah." or "Selected Shahnameh of Hakim Abu Qasim Firdawsī, ʻalayhi al-rahma va al-maghfirah" and was painted in Jumada al-Awwal, 1027 AH. This manuscript is now kept in the digital section of the Library of Congress in the United States. This incomplete manuscript is illustrated on ninety-two "double-leaf" leaves and includes 3 miniatures. The research method is based on the descriptive-analytical research approach and the method of collecting information through library and documentary data. The results of the research, based on the examination of the characteristics of the manuscript, show that it was an adaptation of the methods and patterns common in drawing the Shahnameh in royal workshops, and consequently, it does not have the elegance of royal manuscripts to the highest degree.
