Abstract Texts are linked and connected together with specific reasons and motives and in many different ways. Texts about the general history which are written throughout the history are not exceptions. Shahnameh is a pre – text that its presence in the public historical writings indicates an inter‌textual relationship between these two texts from different and at the same time related branches. So the research question in this paper is that how has been the intertextual connections between Shahnameh and public historical writings from the fifth to mid-eighth century? For this purpose, we took advantage of Gerard Genette’s intertextuality theory, which is a perfect theory for finding all aspects of an intertextual relationship. The main purpose of this research is to discover and analyze different transtextual relations with Shahnameh in public historical writings. The research methodology is library research and the data analysis method is qualitative. The results obtained from the study indicate that historians knowingly and consciously and under the influence of their social situation and the Supportive institutions have established intertextual relationships with Shahnameh by writing public historical writings to achieve their own goals and motives ; and in this regard, they have taken advantage of four types of transtextuality, that is intertextuality , architextuality, paratextuality and metatextuality, respectively from the one used most to the one used least.

Keywords: Shahnameh, public historical writings, transtextulaity. Gerard Genette.
