He also referred to the publication of "Lantern in the Wind" by Ghatreh and asserted: "This work includes an interpretation of 20 Qazals of Hafez as the third volume of Hafez Studies series.

Some volumes of Nameh Bastan and an interpretation of Shahnameh Ferdowsi penned by Kazazi are recently republished, including the fifth volume.

Le Chevalier de la Charrette
Kazazi continued: "Some of my books do not reach the book fair. One of these is the translation of 'Lancelot, le Chevalier de la Charrette" (Lancelot, Knight of the Cart) by French poet Chretien de Troyes; I have rendered it into Persian in 181 pages. This work is an epic in Old French and is one of the first literary creations of this century made in the 12th century."

According to him, this epic based on the legend of King Arthur and the Round Table knights is published by Moin Publications.

Kazazi has also translated "De la nature" from Latin. This is a long poem reflecting the scholarly worldview of its composer, Lucrece. In this work, Lucrece mentions things like atom or causes of other natural phenomena like snow, rain thunderbolt, or seeing and hearing systems.

Kazazi has also completed translations of works by Roman politician Seneca to be published by Moin.

Prosification of Shahnameh 
Finally Kazazi referred to his rewriting of Shahnameh stories in a language similar to that Shahnameh. "These days I am busy writing this," he explained, "In this rewriting I am paraphrasing Shahnameh in a more succinct form which is yet harmonious with the language of Shahnameh. So far, five volumes of this work are completed.
