Abstract

Rashid-al-Din Vatvat is one of the great scholars in the century 6 A.H., a literary man and a reputable savant of eloquence in Persian and Arabic language. The only amendment made to this poetical work is the one carried by late Saeed Nafisi which was published in Azar 1339 H. in Tehran. Due to the recency of these manuscripts for the editor and inaccessibility to older manuscripts, many verses of this work mainly the Arabic verses were distorted. This study was carried out according to the archaic manuscripts which were available and written in the year 699 A.H. The researcher has rectified plenty of the distorted Arabic verses of this poet's work as they are referred to in this study.
