Introduction
"Shahnameh
khani" classes started after a series of lectures by Mr.
Saeed Ghaemmaghami - the famous anchorman - whose personal interest
in Ferdosi's life and his recitals of the great poet's epic poems
on tapes and cassettes had already brought him a great deal of
newfound fame. After the three months was over, some of the people
who attended these lectures decided to continue studying this
great literary work on their own. Thus "Shahnameh Khani"
sessions have been held regularly since 1998.
The aim of these sessions is to facilitate the reading and understanding
of the Shahnameh. The Shahnameh is the great literary work of
Ferdosi, the master poet, thinker, and humanitarian of the tenth
century Iran. The text studied at these sessions is the copy edited
by Dr. Djalal Khalegi Motlagh, a renowned life-long scholar of
the Shahnameh
Since
1998, a group of individuals, interested in reading and understanding
the Shahnameh, have been getting together regularly to do just
that, read the Shahnameh - the great literary work of Ferdosi.
There
is no charge for these sessions and anyone interested in the
Shahnameh is encouraged to attend.
