Editing Shahnameh (section)

=== Arabic translation ===
The only known Arabic translation of the ''Shahnameh'' was done in {{Circa|1220}} by [[Bundari|al-Fath bin Ali al-Bundari]], a Persian scholar from [[Isfahan]] and at the request of the [[Ayyubid]] ruler of Damascus [[Al-Mu'azzam Isa]]. The translation is unrhyming (''nathr'') and was largely forgotten until it was republished in full in 1932 in Egypt, by historian Abdelwahhab Azzam. This modern edition was based on incomplete and largely imprecise fragmented copies found in [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]], Paris, Astana, Cairo and Berlin. The latter had the most complete, least inaccurate and well-preserved Arabic version of the original translation by al-Bundari.
