The discovery of original source materials in ancient texts is highly significant for scholars. Revisers often rely on secondary sources in addition to older and more authoritative text versions when correcting and annotating literary works. These secondary sources encompass a range of materials, including translations, summaries, contemporaneous texts, and works utilized by the original author. One such important secondary source is the Persian text "Kanz al-Ma'āref", which provides insights into the Barmakid dynasty. This work was written by Abd al-Jalil ibn Yaḥyā Yazdi and presented to Shāh Shudja' upon completion in central Iran in the 8th century. Two copies of Kanz al-Ma'āref, numbered 1342 and 1351, are housed in the National Library of France, while another copy is held in the Āref Ḥekmat Library in Medina though currently inaccessible. Beyond its historical significance in enhancing our understanding of the Barmakids, Kanz al-Ma'āref contains valuable textual passages that can be leveraged for analysis and correction of ancient verse and prose texts. The author incorporated various literary sources and quoted verses and phrases, making it a rich resource for scholars. This essay presented examples of such cases categorized into three groups: instances where the Kanz al-Ma'āref recording was more accurate than the corrected version; cases where one or more corrections of the original texts were accurate, while the Kanz al-Ma'āref recording was inaccurate; and situations where both the Kanz al-Ma'āref recording and the published correction(s) were correct, but the Kanz al-Ma'āref version was considered superior.

Jalaloddin Davani who has written many books, treatises, and letters, is one of the great scholars of the Shiraz school of thought during the Timurid period. Considering his influential attitude in the dynamics and excellence of Persian mystical literature, it is important to know about his Persian works which often include mysticism, philosophy, and theology. Obviously, before judging his opinions and beliefs, one should investigate the authenticity of his works. Therefore, the present research aims at the critical codicology of Persian works attributed to Davani to determine their authenticity. Reviewing the catalogue of manuscripts in the libraries shows that, in most catalogues, there are many mistakes in the title of Davani's Persian works. These bibliographic mistakes have been repeated in the works of many subsequent authors. To write the paper First, based on the Union Catalogue of Iran Manuscripts (Fankha), the titles of all Persian works attributed to Davani were identified. Then, using his Persian manuscripts and other sources, the authenticity of his Persian works in the catalogue of manuscripts was examined. In this study, through the comparative investigation of Davani's Persian manuscripts in Iran, some of our codicological and bibliographic information about Davani's Persian works have been corrected, especially the title and number of his authentic and non-authentic works. The result of the current critical codicology showed that Davani has written at least twenty original Persian works. In addition, according to the entries of Davani's Persian works in Fankha, at least nine nonoriginal Persian works have been attributed to him. Thus, at least nine entries of Davani's Persian works in Iran seem incorrect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anis al-Talebin and Oddah al-Salekin is a precious book written in Persian, but has not been corrected so far. Its value lies in the fact that its writer was a direct student of Khajeh Baha’ al-Din, the establisher of Naqshbandiyeh dynasty. This study examined this book in detail and the concise book of Khajeh Mohammad Parsa. It compared the linguistic and literary features of the two books. This study examined the differenced under four titles: 1. Deletion; 2. Addition; 3. Transposition; 4. Changes and differences in recording words. It showed that the significance of the concise text and examining on is plural: 1) The text is the first one that deals with the life of Khajeh Baha al-Din, the founder of the Naqshbandiyeh, and the author himself closely and directly saw the life of Khajeh Baha al-Din; 2) This work is important in terms of linguistic, literary, historical and social values; 3) The concise version is an independent of the detailed version, so it deserves to be examined as an independent work and be corrected.

The present article attempts to introduce a lesser-known work called Kanz al-Maʿārif, written in Persian and in central Iran, and highlight its significance in a better and deeper understanding of the Barmakīd Dynasty. The book is entirely dedicated to ʾĀl-i Barmak (The Barmak family) and the biographies of the most important figures in this dynasty, and is authored by ʿAbd al-Jalīl ʾibn Yaḥyā ʾibn ʿAbdul Jalīl ʾibn Muḥammed ʾibn ʿAbdulbāqī Yazdī. He began writing the book in 762 A.H./1360 A.D. and dedicated it to Shāh Shujāʿ Dīn Muẓaffarī once it was finished. Three copies of this book are known to exist, with the two older copies numbered 1342 and 1351 being kept in the national library of France. The latter was transcribed in 926 A.H./1520 A.D., while the former's transcription date remains unknown. The third copy belongs to the ʿĀrif-i Ḥikmat Library in Medina and was transcribed in the 12th century A.H./18th century A.D. In this article, in addition to introducing the author and the copies of the work, its connections with other books particularly written about the Barmakīds and with the narratives mentioned in historical and literary accounts regarding this family are analyzed. Through this analysis, the merits and significances of the work compared with others in understanding the Barmakīds is revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In present article, first, Maktubat-e-Sadi as the most important Persian work of Sharafuddin Maneri (1263-1381 AD), the most famous leader of ‘Kubrawiyya Ferdowsiyeh’ tribe in India, is introduced. This work was developed by his fellow named Zeyn Badr Arabi. Then, samples of important and controversial differences between stone print and the ancient version of Maktubat-e-Sadi are proposed in order to determine the need for the critical correction of this work. The results indicated that, based on the “antiquity” and “significance” of Maktubat-e-Sadi and due to the "plurality" of the manuscripts of this work, there are some mistakes made by writers which are referred to in this study. Due to the fact that each of the stone prints has important differences with the old versions of the book in the recording of words and phrases, it is necessary to correct this work in order to achieve a close text similar to what Sharafuddin Maneri has written.

In some ancient resources, the Sharaf al-dn Manyari's attitude (1263-1380 AD) is attributed to the Sohrevardiyeh most of resources contemporary to him, Sharaf al-dîn has been attributed to Kubrawiyyaand Ferdowsiyeh. In this research, using descriptive-analytical methodology or Chastiyah dynasties. While based on the works of Sheykh Manyari as well as, the focal issue, i.e. invalidity of attributing Sheykh Manyari to Sohrevardiyeh and sometimes to Chestiyeh is studied to respond three questions of explaining the necessity of specifying the Sheykh Manyari's attitude, classifying Sharaf al-dn Manyari's attribution to different dynasties in resources, as well as studying the probabilities for the formation and promotion of these attributions in different typologies. Therefore, first referring to the one of the Sharaf al-dîn works called MâdanolMaãni (before 1348 AD, October) and other contemporary and ancient resources, the incorrectness of attributing Sheykh Manyari to Sohrevardiyeh and Chastiyah is mentioned and then three probabilities are provided to prevent this attribution. In addition, in third part of this article, some of most important effects of Najm al-dîn Kubra (1146-1221 AD) and other Kubrawiyya sheikhs and great men who are reflected in Maktubat-e-Sadiwould be provided to make clear the Ferdowsiyeh attribution to the Kubrawiyya dynasty as the main achievement of this article.
