Read More Aydenloo * Payâme Noor University of Urmiyye Scroll is a collection of written prose reckoned as the original source for naqqâls (narrators). Narrative boundaries of scrolls range from the era of Kayumarth to the end of the reign of Bahman, Homây or Dârâb. To prepare the scrolls, the old naqqâls, besides using Shaahnaameh, made use of heroic poems composed after Shaahnaameh, historical sources, older scrolls as well as their own imagination.. These scrolls and their lengthy tales are characterized by some structural and thematic features, the most important of which are as follows: 1.Creation of new stories and distorting the tales of the old sources; 2.Employing the tales of Shaahnaameh, heroic-epic stories, and historical sources for creating new stories; 3.Remedying the defects of the Iranian heroic literature and clarifying its fictional ambiguities; 4. Containing Semitic and Islamic elements; 5. Being influenced by the time and the place they were written and narrated; 6. Lack of order in the arrangement of the stories; 7.Rearrangement of the characters and the stories; 8.Lacke of precision, incorrectness, and contradiction in stories; 9.Changthe names in the stories 10; Creation of new characters; 11.Reducing the number of characters; 12.Repetition of the same theme in different tales; 13.Repetition of the same story; 14. Repetition of the same subject in a single story; 15.Creation of etymologies for some names 16.Attribution of the words of Shânâme’s characters to other persons in other stories. *Assistant Professor in Persian Language & Literature. aydenloo@gmail.com Received: 3/13/2010 Accepted: 1/12/2011
