Turkish scholar Nimet Yildirim is translating Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh into the Turkish language.

CHTN-'' Turkish academic Necati Lugal previously has translated 20,000 couplets into Turkish and I decided to translate the remainder and publish them with Lugal’s translation, said Yildirim.

He has translated 50,000 couplets which were published along with Lugal’s translation and he is now translating 30,000 remained couplets.

The first volume of the translation, published by Kabalci Publications, contains mostly the couplets translated by Lugal and the next volume will be published in near future, he added.

The book is arranged in alphabetical order and each entry concludes with related poems by Iranian poets, he said.
