Shahnameh of Rashidā[1][2][3] (Persian: شاهنامهٔ رشیدا‎‎) is an illustrated manuscript of Shahnameh, the national epic of Greater Iran. It contains 738 pages with 93 miniatures in Isfahan school. The miniatures have been attributed to Mohammad Yusef (Safavid era painter). This manuscript dates from the 17th century and now it is located in the Golestan Palace. The Calligraphy of this manuscript has been attributed to Abdorashid Daylamy and for this reason, it is called the Shahnameh of Rashida.[4]

The miniatures of this Shahnameh are very similar to the miniatures of the Shahnameh of Qarajaghay Khan (Windsor Shahnameh), so it has been suggested that these manuscripts have been prepared by same painters.[5]
