About This Item
New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1972. Hardbound. VG/VG (light scuffs & scratches to cloth boards. light sunning to spine. slipcase has rubbing to edges; scuffs, smudges & scratches). Blue cloth with gilt title on spine. 199 pp. Numerous color and BW plates. blue, illustrated slipcase. Photo is of a previous copy from our collection; this does NOT have a dustjacket, but does haave the publisher's slipcase. Remains a nice, sharp copy. "Composed in the tenth century by the poet Firdowski, the Shah-nameh or Book of Kings is Iran's central literary work, a historical epic peopled with monarchs--some of inspiring goodness, others of unmatched wickedness--handsome paladins, beautiful maidens, malevolent witches, and treacherous demons." -- From The Publisher.
