Iskandarnama
The Iskandarnama (Classical Persian: اسکندرنامه Iskandarnāma, lit. 'Book of Alexander') is the oldest Persian recension of the Alexander Romance tradition, anonymous and dated to some time between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries, although recently its compilation has been placed in the eleventh century by Evangelos Venetis, during the reign of Mahmud of Ghazni in the court of the Ghaznavid Empire. Alexander is described as a Muslim king and prophet and is identified with the conqueror named Dhu'l-Qarnayn in the Quran.
