This book refers to many other books on Falconry and Hunting (Bāznāmeh and Shikārnāmeh) especially the translation of the “Shīkārnāmeh-ye Anūshīrawānī”. It includes an introduction on the history of the writings about hunting in Iran till the 5^th century and two part about training and treatment of birds of prey and other hunting animals.
