A critical study of the past editions of Anvari's Divan

Some forty to fifty years have passed since the publication of two editions of Anvari’s Divan, one by Saeid Nafisi and the other by Modarres Razavi. With the appearance of other manuscripts inaccessible to those two late scholars, some of the deficiencies and lapses of the two editions have come to light, thus making it necessary for Anvari’s Divan to be emended anew according to the newly found reliable manuscripts, and his ambiguous and obfuscate verses, not interpreted yet or interpreted incorrectly, be explained and expounded.
The writers of this review endeavor to first enumerate the problems with the editions prepared by Nafisi and Modarres Razavi, and then introduce the newly found manuscripts, concluding with a brief presentation of their own techniques used in a fresh redaction of Anvari’s Divan.
