Testimonial by Hinesh Shah
M.Phil. student, University of Oxford
The Aspirantum Shahname course was an excellent course with only 1 drawback- I wish it could have been longer!
The teachers were experts in Shahname and constantly provided us with enlightening details while we tried to read the Shahname. While being quite difficult, we did not feel that the course was too intense as the teachers made us feel at such ease and guided us through the text so effortlessly.
There were also some wonderful chances to read from manuscripts and to look at the wonderful illustrations of various episodes in the Shahname.
I certainly feel inspired to carry on reading this incredible epic having attended this course.
