Through her examination of a wide range of medieval sources, Askari demonstrates that Firdaus??s oeuvre was primarily understood as a book of wisdom and advice for kings and courtly elites. In order to illustrate the ways in which the Sh?hn?ma functions as a mirror for princes, Askari analyses the account about Ardash?r, the founder of the Sasanian dynasty, as an ideal king in the Sh?hn?ma . Within this context, she explains why the idea of the union of kingship and religion, a major topic in almost all medieval Persian mirrors for princes, has often been attributed to Ardash?r. 410 0$aStudies in Persian cultural history ;$vVolume 9. 606 $aPersian poetry$y747-1500 606 $aEpic poetry, Persian$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPersian poetry 615 0$aEpic poetry, Persian$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a891/.5511 700 $aAskari$b Nasrin$01594237 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816366703321 996 $aThe medieval reception of the Shahnama as a mirror for princes$93914720 997 $aUNINA
