Mojmal al-Tawarikh wa al-Qasas (Persian: مُجمل التواریخ و القصص, lit.
'The Collection of Histories and Tales') was a book written in Ghaznavid Persia (in c. 1126[citation needed]).
The book is a chronicle mostly of Persian Kings, and is often cited as a source of reference for historical events of the 12th century and before.
It refers to the classical Persian Shahnameh as the "tree" and all other poems as "branches".
[2] The book was first edited in 1939 by Mohammad-Taqi Bahar in Tehran.
