Shahnameh in the Collection of Hammam Tabrizi

Azerbaijan has been one of the important cultural centers of Iran and the place of Sepand, whose inhabitants have played a significant role in spreading and promoting Iranian culture. The presence of Persian language and great Persian-poets has long made this part of Iran one of the bases of this language. One of the famous Azerbaijani poets, Hammam Tabrizi, is a seventh-century poet, whose collection is especially important, because he has lyric poems in Azeri language. A search of this poet's collection shows his attention to Shahnameh and the national epic; so that in the collection of Hammam, the general characters and terms of the ancient Iranian culture and sometimes the images of Shahnameh are one of the poet's tools for composing poetry. Therefore, in this article, we have tried to examine the case of Hammam Tabrizi by examining the cases in which he considered the Iranian culture and Shahnameh.
