The text, however, of Tabari, at all events and more so a comparison of Tabari and other Arabs with one another and with Firdausi exhibits that entire sections of the History of Kings were already in the Pahlavi original in essentially different shapes. It is very important for a knowledge of the history that thus we have at our command all manner of dissonant reports about the Sasanide epoch.
I designate this work as "Persian Tabari" and have used it in the splendid Gotha manuscript and in Zotenberg's French translation. I have also consulted the Turkish version of Belami in a Gotha Manuscript. All these writers and others present us collectively a tolerably rich and vivid portrait of Persian tradition of the Sasanide times.
