A View of Ferdowsi's Trust and Integrity a Case Study: A Comparison of the Twelve Advice of Bozorgmehr to Anushirovan in Morvej Al-Zahab and Shahnameh

The Shahnameh is a body of the history and culture of a genuine and origonal nation whose spirit of wisdom and preaching have been blown up there, the intellectual sayings has been abounded in this national epic, especially in the treaties and meetings of the wise men. After a thousand years, it preserves authenticity and freshness on the Persian literary tradition. Among these, in the book of Moravej al-Zahab, the twelve advice of Bozorgmehr have been quoted, which are very similar to the fourth section of the seven-fold Anushirovan with those of Bozorgmehr in the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi. Considering that Massoudi sources have been Pahlavi texts and have not got priority to Shahnameh in the historical terms, these comparisons indicate the depth and extent of knowledge and the wisdom of Persians. On the other hand, it shows the originality of Shahnameh and the trust of Ferdowsi in quoting the national epic that is based on Iranian sources and it is a documentary proof that Shahnameh is a tradition of Iranian culture and literature before Islam.
