Florence Shahnameh

It dates from 614 AH (1217 CE, more than 800 years ago), 200 years after the final completion of the epic poem in 1010, and is unillustrated.

It is a very important manuscript, because it contains old forms of many words.

It was discovered in 1978 by Angelo Piemontese, the Italian scholar in the National Central Library of Florence.

Djalal Khaleghi Motlagh used this manuscript in his edition of Shahnameh.

The manuscript is incomplete, containing only half of the text.
