Kortnameh is an epic composed in Masnavi format. Modeled on Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, the work was composed by Rabiee Pushangi (671-702A.H.) at the behest of Fakhruddin-e Kort (697-706 A.H.) about the history of Kort dynasty. The work has disappeared and little is known about it. Tarikhname-ye Herat (721 A.H.) is the only source that has preserved a little more than 250 verses of Kortnameh, providing us with some information about the author and his style. To identify the structure and format of Kortnameh, the present study has tried to explore and analyze the surviving verses of the work in Tarikhname-ye Herat.
