Abstract

During the Mongol period, due to the special morale of the Mongols, the elimination of the Abbasid caliphate, the weakening of national tendencies, the gradual change of Iran"s socio-political conditions and the spread of the historiographical movement, national epics flourished and the order of historical epics flourished. Zafarnameh by Hamdollah Mostofi is the most important historical epic available. It has over 75,000 verses and is divided into three parts (Islamic oath, oath of rulings about the history of Iran, and oath of Soltani about the history of the Mongols). Islam was written until the time of the author.

In this article, written in the library method, in order to examine the extent of Mostofi"s influence on Ferdowsi and to extract linguistic, literary and intellectual features, this work has been studied and analyzed in terms of stylistics. Out of a total of 75,000 bits of the work, two thousand bits (a total of six thousand bits) were examined. The results show that linguistically and literaryly, this work is an imitation of Shahnameh. Linguistically, the use of Arabic, Turkish and Mongolian words and ancient Iranian words has affected the heterogeneous and non-cohesive structure. From a syntactic point of view, the characteristics of Khorasani style and especially Shahnameh can be seen in it. From the point of view of formalism, similarity, exaggeration, irony and metaphor are seen in the order of order.
