Mojmal al-tawarikh
Mojmal al-Tawarikh wa al-Qasas (مُجمل التواریخ و القصص "The Collection of histories and Tales") was a book written in Ghaznavid Persia (in c. 1126[citation needed]).
The book is a chronicle mostly of Persian Kings, and is often cited as a source of reference for historical events of the 12th century and before. It refers to the classical Persian Shahnameh as the "tree" and all other poems as "branches".[1]
Some authors have claimed the name of the author to be Ibn Shadi Asad abadi (ابن شادی اسدآبادی).[2] The book was first edited in 1939 by Mohammad-Taqi Bahar in Tehran.
Another book with the same title was written by Fasihuddin Ahmad in 1441.[citation needed]
