        Didactic literature is an old and significant literary genre. Since 4th century (AH) onward moral lessons and advices have been major themes in the works of numerous Persian poets including Asadī Tūsī, whose Garšāsp-nāma, a long heroic epic, contains religious, ethical and social themes as well as domestic economics and politics teachings. In spite of numerous verses on the epic, mythical and heroic combats between Garšāsp and Nariman, didactic and moral lessons make up the greater part of Garšāsp-nāma.  Among teachings of Garšāsp-nāma one is domestic economy. Compared with such literary works as Golestān, Nafāes Al-fonūn, Latāef Al-hekma and Aklāq-e Nāserī which are mainly concerned with moral lessons and practical philosophy in specific, Garšāsp-nāma focuses on the same subjects too, though not exactly in the same structure and description. This research is to reveal the way the domestic economy is presented in Garšāsp-nāma. Manuscript profile
