GerardGenette presented Transtextualite theory due to the theory of Yulia Kristeva's intertextuality at the second half of twentieth century. This theory is divided into five sections: 1) Intertextualite. 2) Metatextualite. 3) Arcitextualite. 4) Paratextualite. 5) Hypertextualite. Inspired from Shāhnāme, tradition of epic storytelling continued after Ferdowsi. The reflection of Shāhnāme in all of epic works, after 4th century, is quite obvious. One of these works is Shāhkār by Rahim Moini-e Kermānshāhi which is included the history of Iran from Sasaniyan's fall until late of Qajar dynasty in rhythm of Shāhnāme and form of mathnavi. Shāhkār is an artifact and historical work that is influenced by Shāhnāme in different fields. Based on Intertextualite theory, the effect of Shāhnāme on Shāhkār is very high and ThisReflectingcreatesabeautifuland desirable work. In this research, impact of Shāhnāme has been analysed based on Transtextualite theory.
