		Istori’ e Skenderbeut, Bucharest 1898 (History of Scanderbeg), is an historical epic of 11,500 verses which Frashëri must have written in about 1895 in his last creative years and one which the author himself regarded as his masterpiece.
		Another work of similar proportions, published the same year as the ‘History of Scanderbeg,’ is Qerbelaja, Bucharest 1898 (Kerbela), a Shi’ite religious epic in twenty-five cantos, which deals with the Battle of Kerbela in Iraq in 680 A.D. in which Husein, grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, was killed.
		In contrast to the ‘History of Scanderbeg,’ Qerbelaja is a narrative epic devoid of a hero or principal character.

		After his death in 632 CE Islam was ruled in succession by four Rightly Guided Caliphs, the last of whom was 'Ali, the Prophet's cousin and Fatima's husband.
		'Ali found himself embroiled in bitter struggles concerning the succession and eventually he was murdered at the door of the mosque in Kufa; not long after this his son Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet, was killed at the battle of Kerbela in which he was enormously outnumbered.
		They may have believed that it was more humane to kill one man selectively than a multitude in a battle.
