The paper focuses on the analysis of the term Yezdistan (Ēzdīstān) attested in a Yezidi legend, having obvious parallels with the Shahnameh’s “Tale of Zahhak”. It is particularly interesting that this plot does not occur in any of the Kurmanji versions of the Shahnameh ever recorded in Armenia and represents, in fact, a separate legend out of the epic context.

耶兹迪坦vs库尔德斯坦：关于耶兹迪斯起源的另一个传说

本文着重分析在耶兹第传说中证明的耶兹迪斯坦（Ēzdīstān）一词，与Shahnameh的“ Zahhak故事”有明显的相似之处。尤其有趣的是，在亚美尼亚有史以来任何Shahnameh的Kurmanji版本中都没有出现这种情节，实际上，它代表了史诗情境之外的独立传说。
