Which Persian epic influenced medieval Georgian literature?

Medieval Georgian literature was significantly influenced by Persian literature, most notably the 11th-century epic Shāh-nāmeh ("Book of Kings") by the poet Ferdowsī.1

This influence is particularly evident in the works of the Georgian cultural golden age, which spanned from the late 11th to the early 13th century. The national epic of Georgia, Shota Rustaveli's The Knight in the Panther's Skin (Vepkhvistqaosani), reflects this Persian connection; for instance, the character Rostom in the Shāh-nāmeh is depicted wearing a panther skin, a detail mirrored in Rustaveli's masterpiece. Additionally, the 11th-century Persian romance Vīs o-Rāmīn by Fakhr al-Dīn Gurgānī is noted for its thematic similarities to the passion found in Georgian courtly literature of the period.12
