A Comparative Review of Jorjaniʼs Manuscript of Masalek va Mamalek with Jahan Nameh

This article is concerned with a comparative review of Jahân-Nâme by Mohammad bin Najib Bakran and manuscripts of Masâlek va Mamâlek by Abu al-Hasan Sâʽid bin Ali Jurjâni written by during the middle of ninth century AH. From this review it becomes clear that Jorjâniʼs main source in writing his book was Jahân-Nâme and therefore Jahân-Nâme is also a good source for editing the Masâlek. However, the manuscripts of his Masâlek at our hand are by far more than the manuscripts of Jahân-Nâme, and this help us to correct some of errors occurred in editing of Jahân-Nâme.
