Manouchehri Damghani

Manouchehri Damghani is one of the famous poets of the 11th century whose divan has been repeatedly corrected in Iran and other countries, although, one of the most well-known and significant corrections to his divan, made by Mohammad Debir Siyaghi, first was published in 1947 and was re-edited in its subsequent editions. Since any handwritten copy of the Manuchehri manuscript has been left, and because of the special style of Manouchehri in composing poems that cannot be found in the work of the others, and also considering his particular attention to the world around, it is very difficult to correct his divan. It has been tried, in present study, to correct some distiches of some copies of Manouchehri's divan on the basis of Debir Siyaghi edition, paying attention to two recent editions of his divan have been done recently: the editions of Habib Yaghmaei (2013) and Saeed Shiri (2016). In addition to the manuscripts used by the correctors, several other handwritings, some of which are older than their manuscripts, are used for corrections have been made in this study. Rhyming rules, syntax, sentences order, other literary requirements and the meaning of distiches have been paid attention by the researchers in addition to the consensus of older handwritten copies.
