One of the most important sources of research in the history of Zandiyeh is the book Tarikh Giti-gosha by Mirza Seyyed Mohammad Sadegh Mousavi Isfahani, nicknamed, a tasteful poet and a talented writer of this period. This work has two parts which were completed after the death of the author by his student Mirza Abdul Karim bin Alireza Sharif Shirazi and after him Mohammad Reza Shirazi. Taken together, this work narrates the life and characteristics of Karim Khan Zand from the beginning to the end of the work of Lotf Ali Khan Zand (1209 AH). For the first time in 1317 A.H., Saeed Nafisi corrected the erroneous and distorted Gitigosha by using only a late manuscript and by his own admission, without reporting any copy differences and by recreating nearly 25 pages of the original manuscript. . With the investigations done and by referring to the indexes, it becomes clear that there are about 37 manuscripts of this work in the libraries of Iran and the world, and probably the manuscripts which are very close to the date of Gitigosha's authorship and the proofreader did not use them. Therefore, with the availability of these manuscripts, it is felt necessary that this important and valuable work be corrected and refined again to present a revised work with comments from it. In this essay, while pointing out the shortcomings of Saeed Nafisi's correction, we introduce the existing manuscripts of this work.

The tazkira al-Shaarai of Maulana Mohammad Abdul Ghani Farrukhabadi (1916 AD) is considered to be one of the latest public research tazkira in the subcontinent, which has not been known and studied until now.

The old translations of the Quran are a precious legacy of the language of our ancestors and a treasure of authentic Persian words. In this article, which was obtained from broader research to revive and correct an ancient translation of the Holy Quran (1766 manuscript of Astan Quds Razavi library), we have investigated the unknown and rarely used words in this translation. A number of these words, such as the word "Rouijeh" equivalent to the Quranic word "Re’a" are completely unknown and are used only in this version and at most in another old translation of the Qur'an, and a larger number of them such as the words "Farwishkârân" equivalent to "Al-Ghafilin" " and "Varwareh" are equivalent to "Al-Ghorfat" and are rarely used and abandoned. Since the meaning of the words becomes clearer as they are used in the text, in addition to the Quranic and Persian equivalents of the old words, we have given the cases of their use in the target version and other translations of the Quran and sometimes in literary texts, and in some cases to clarify their meanings to We have also mentioned the words related to them. From examining these words and some other linguistic features of this version, we have come to the conclusion that due to the similarities with the Holy Qur'an, the language of this translation is closer to the type of the language of the Eastern region, especially the Sistan region.

The linguistic mistakes in this manuscript show that the Anonymous scribe did not have sufficient knowledge of Arabic and was probably a Persian speaker. Perhaps the date of its copy goes back to the 7th or 8th century. In this article, some points of Bayhaghi's life, such as the nickname "Ibn-Fondoq", his date of birth, and his religion, have been examined with a textual research, and this hypothesis can be proved that Ghurar al-Amthal is an explanatory and critical review of Majma al-Amthal written by Maydani (d. 518 A.H).

In addition, Bayhaqi draws a section of the cultural history of Bayhaq in the 6th century by narrating memories and some stories.
