The Shāhnāmah Shāh Ismaʿīl (Tabriz, 1541), Shahnama-yi Isma'il or Shahnama-i Qasimi (شاهنامهء شاه اسمعيل) is a panegyric historical epic of Shah Ismail, founder of the Safavid Empire, inspired by the more general format of the Shāhnāmeh, although not a Shanameh itself in the traditional sense. The manuscript is located in the British Library, inventory code Add. 7784.
