Correction of Verse's from Hatefi's Timurnameh

The Mathnawi of Timur-name is one of the valuable historical epics that Abdollah Hatefi Xarjerdi jami, the famous burlesque performer of Timurid era and early Safavid, put into verses imitating Nizami's Eskandarname and Ferdousi's Sahname.Simplicity, innovative imagery and pleasant exaggerations madeit one of the best epical works of that era. Also the existence of Turkish and Mongolian words, rare words and ancient pronunciations has increased its lexical worth. Stylistic and historical values of the work are significant too. Abu Hasem Seyyed Yusha' lithographed this work for the first time in Madras of India in 1958.Also Mohammad Rezâ Qâsemzâde Šândiz critically edited this work as his M.A. thesis. But the negligence in observing the rules of edition and the lack of reliable manuscripts led to many mistakes and distortions. In this essay, a reliable manuscript and the above mentioned editions are compared and many mistakes are corrected. Some of the most significant ones like tir-e mâr, qoul, čuze, čarkas and wândakân that have mistakenly been read in these two editions are corrected to tirbâr, γul, jarre, xirekoš and âyandegân.
