Khwaday-Namag

Research area: Wikipedia prospect: Khwaday-Namag

Rank #16 Wikipedia seam prospect. Matched signals: lost, reconstructed. Page context: Khwadāy-Nāmag (Iranian Persian: خدای‌نامه Khodây-Nâmeh/Xodây-Nâmeh; lit. 'Book of Lords/Kings') is the hypothetical title of a lost Middle Persian story from the Sasanian era. It presumably encompassed the national history of Iran from the beginning of time until the Sasanian period. It was a remote predecessor of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh ('Book of Kings'), the 10th-century Iranian national epic, which, it is assumed, drew from a version or versions…

L2 Candidates

L2 Candidate Missing office Review_Needed

The conversion-founder behind Sultan Mudzaffar Shah I of Kedah

Pre-1550 uncertainty dossier for the tradition-attested first Muslim ruler of Kedah and the disputed chronology behind that identity.

Codex/subagent reading found a pre-1550 dynastic conversion problem with strong tradition evidence, variant names, and major chronological counterevidence. Source title-prior route: route:920e14d4a5951fdff8bbc33cc3ea0b739cddcb4efcb970fb.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Review_Needed

Timbuktu manuscript corpus shadows

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 high-value title-prior lane.

The manuscript-corpus title is a strong seam for uncatalogued works, provenance gaps, and under-described textual witnesses. Source title-prior route: route:42ca621928243d8b2d4aa8c0e8d8b189860e03db11b38788.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published_Beta

Anonymous pre-manuscript strata behind the Book of Dede Korkut

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 source-control title-prior lane.

The metadata places this as a medieval book, mythology text, anonymous work, and epic-poem tradition. That combination is a strong title-only prior for under-separated textual layers, manuscript witnesses, and attribution uncertainty. Source title-prior route: route:fe923cb8040dc746d64016019b07696d266e97fa47647800.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Review_Needed

Al-Bakri Kitab al-Masalik wa'l-Mamalik title-variant source-control seam

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 source-control title-prior lane.

Two near-duplicate title forms point to a medieval geographical work whose title transmission, editions, and source witnesses are likely separable research objects. Source title-prior route: route:7344fea66b10ac5b68f51d235e98628c24391d6353abcaac.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published_Beta

Source-dependent Caesarea in Cappadocia siege narrative

Source-backed inferon for the source dependence of the detailed Caesarea in Cappadocia siege narrative.

The title isolates a 3rd-century Roman-Sasanian siege and has more-citations plus expand-Italian cues. The event is specific, ancient, and likely dependent on a small source tradition, making it a strong evidence-led lacuna candidate. Source title-prior route: route:ee904983355bce4350f7855c2b2c4521e2ebab8742370461.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Researching

Arabic intermediary layer for Sasanian royal-history material

Research area: Sibling campaign from Sasanian Book-of-Kings transmission

A possible Arabic translation or compilation layer mediating Sasanian royal-history material into early Islamic universal histories and later Persian epic memory.

Sibling expansion from the published Khwaday-Namag transmission-layer article; route only, no external attestation claimed yet.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published

Possible source layer behind Khwaday-Namag

Research area: Wikipedia prospect: Khwaday-Namag

Possible source layer behind Khwaday-Namag. This is a source-lead candidate surfaced from the Wikipedia page 'Khwaday-Namag' because the page context contains signals for lost, reconstructed. No external evidence has been promoted yet.

Wikipedia discovery surfaces (Category:Lost books) point to lost, reconstructed around 'Khwaday-Namag'. Next work is to inspect the page references, talk/context where relevant, and independent source surfaces before promoting anything to evidence.
