Abstract

The originality of the text is the basis of any kind of critique and evaluation, and achieving a valid and critical correction requires searching the manuscripts and contrasting them with one of the scientific methods in correcting the texts. In the present study, by introducing two ancient and authentic versions of the book Latifeye Geybi written by Mullah Mohammad Darabi, we have examined many wrong or ambiguous words and phrases in a critical way. Although this book was corrected in 1385, but the basis of the work is based on the same offset printing of 1319 AD which was reprinted in 1357 (with calligraphy). Due to the many problems of the text at different levels of phrases and words, etc., in the present study, according to the two versions that were published in 1234 AH. And 1244 AH. It has been written, we have evaluated more than 50 mistakes of the book and we have shown its correct form. The results show that lexical errors are more common than other cases due to the scribe's inaccuracy in writing or misreading. In addition, many of the statements related to the author's arguments are confused and ambiguous due to their incorrect spelling or misreading of the scribe. Among the manuscripts, the first manuscript, which was written in 1234, is more correct than the other manuscripts.
