===Pahlavi / Middle-Persian texts===
* ''[[Khwaday-Namag|Khwātay-Nāmag]]'' (Book of Lords) : A chronological history of Iranian kings from the mythical era to the end of Sasanian period. This book was an important reference for post-Sasanian and Islamic historians such as [[Ibn al-Muqaffa']] as well as [[Ferdowsi]] in his epic work ''[[Shahnameh]]''.
* ''Ewen-Nāmag'': Multi-volume book on Iranian ceremonies, entertainment, warfare, politics, precepts, principles and examples in the Sasanian era.
* ''Zij-i Shahryār'': An important work of astronomy.
* ''Karirak ud Damanak'': A version translated into Pahlavi of the Indian work of fiction ''[[Panchatantra|Pancatantra]]''.
