	Firdawsi - MSN Encarta
		Firdawsi was born near Tūn in Khursan and he married at the age of 28.
		Firdawsi went to Mahmud's court to present his work as a tribute and was awarded the sum of 20,000 dirhams.
		The amount was less than he had been led to expect, and the disappointed poet took his revenge by writing a bitter satire on Mahmud, which he sent to the sultan as a substitute for his former eulogy.

	FIRDAWSI
		Firdawsi is the pseudonym of the Persian poet Abu Ol-Qasem Mansur, about whom little is known to be fact.
		Firdawsi had been assured, in good faith, by one of the ministers of the sultan that the poem would be bought.
		Firdawsi was enraged when he was paid 20,000 -- what he considered a paltry amount for thirty-five years of work -- and in an insolent gesture he spent all the money on a bath and a beer.

	Calvo Continued Extracts on Gnostic Elements in Chess
		Firdawsi means "the paradisian" and it gives another hint about the relationship between Gnostic authors and chess origins.
		This Firdawsi al-Tahihal was a poet and historian at the court of Sultan Bayazid II (1481-1512), but the interesting point is that his chess treatise, completed in 1508, mentions much older sources and is preserved in two manuscripts under the title "Shatranjj nama-i kabir".
		Other chapters are more technical, but in the end, Firdawsi quotes several of the antecedent sources he had used, including Safadi, and significantly, the Gnostic "Brothers of Purity".

		The powerful effect that this text came to have on the poets of this period is partly due to the value that was attached to it as a legitimizing force, especially for new rulers in the Eastern Islamic world: In the Persianate tradition the Shahnama was viewed as more than literature.
		Along with Firdawsi and Nizami’s works, Amir Khusraw’s khamsah also came to enjoy tremendous prestige, and multiple copies of it were produced at Persianate courts. His historical masnavis had a more subtle influence on the writing of narrative verse; eventually, the poet influenced the very tradition that he had challenged with his own innovation.
		His words were fresh and precious, Nobody finds fault with the first fruit. Firdawsi is important because he is a pioneer in his field, but the master is Nizami: Nizami who swept the mine of poetry, Composed gems with his description of Alexander.

		Firdawsi relates the exploits of Iranian heroes against each other, against supernatural beings, and against their main rivals, the Turanians in what was--and still is-- considered by many the greatest classic of the Persian speaking world.
		Yet the popularity in Firdawsi's work reached its apex at an earlier period, in the second half of the sixteenth century.
		These copies were translations of Firdawsi's text as well as of the visual tradition associated with it into the Ottoman Turkish literary and artistic idiom.

		The moral guidance he gives is his way of contributing to the preservation of national identity through hepling to make the people understand their morality, consciences and nature from within as one person and as a whole with others.
		Firdawsi is considered to be the greatest Persian poet to this day.
		Because Firdawsi's Shah-nameh was one of the first of its kind in complete Persian, it became an influential book and is still used as a means of teaching both in the classroom and at home.

		He tells a tale which is often quoted as the earliest written evidence of the gypsy origins.
		Firdawsi is also known as Ferdowsi, Firdausi or Firdusi.
		I'd like to humbly point out that Firdawsi's epic story was never meant to be an historical document, but rather a scholarly attempt to compile and consolidate the inherited tales and folk legends of his people.

		The Shahnameh, or Book of Kings, by the Persian poet Abu al-Qasim Firdawsi, is Iran's national epic and one of the great epics of world literature.
		Abu al-Qasim (who used the pen name Firdawsi) was born around 920 CE near Tus in northeastern Iran into a family of small landowners.
		But the latter remunerated the poet in such a miserly way that Firdawsi wrote bitter satires against the sultan.

		The Shahnama (Book of Kings) was composed in the year 1010 by the poet Firdawsi, and its lively narrative and masterful combination of fact and fantasy provide ample opportunity for visual representation, and the Shahnama remains the most frequently illustrated Persian text.
		In addition, it also served as an ideal vehicle for the expression of royal authority and legitimacy, and patronage of the epic became almost a royal duty.
		Like much of Ilkhanid art, the painting draws on Chinese pictorial elements, such as the surging rocks and vegetation, to create an unusual and evocative composition.
