Bahman Nama

The Bahman-nama (Persian: بهمن نامه‎‎) is a Persian epic poem of 9500 Distichs (couplets)[1] about Bahman, the son of Esfandiyar of the royal Kayanid dynasty. The earliest attestation of this work is in the book Mojmal al-tawarikh, which gives the author as Hakim Īrānšāh b. Abi'l Khayr.[2]
