Abstract
Although many efforts have been made to edit and complete Shahnameh or cleanse its
unoriginal lines, it appears that there is still a long way ahead of us to get to Ferdowsi's
original words and rely on present editions. One of the splendid such attempts in
recent years is that of Dr. J. khaleghi-motlagh's. This article is concentrated on some
lines of this edition with a critical look at the manuscript copies by focusing on the
resources, using complementary evidences and references and offers some suggestions
for each case.
