Upon studying sources in the Islamic period such as Tarkhe Tabari and Gharar- ol-sayr especially their correspondence with Shahnameh it is revealed that ancient Persian Kings made speeches and gave sermons during the act of coronation. The original Pahlavi document of these sermons are not available however due to the fact that a summary or parts of these sermons was narrated in the Farsi and Arabic sources relevant to Iran’s history, especially in Shahnameh, one can determine their components. Therefore, this study attempts to study the content and main themes of these sermons based on Shahnameh and its correspondence with Tarikhe Tabari and Gharar- ol-sayr.
