The Shahnama of Firdausi, Volume I

This set examines the history and culture of Persia through its rich language and literature. It includes Griffith's translation of Jami's outstanding work, Yusuf and Zulaikha. The Warner brothers nine-volume triumph represents one of the first attempts to provide the subject matter of the great epic, Shahnama in English; and Haug's foundational essays present all the materials needed for understanding the scriptures and religion of the Parsis.
