The Necessity of a Novel Correctionof Ohadi Maraqhei's Divan

The scientific and critical correction of ancient text is one of the most valuable and essential literary research. The divan of Ohadi Maraghei (Esfahani), mystic and poet of 7th and 8th centuries A.H., is one of the ancient text. In 1340 A.H.S., Ohadi Maraghei's Divan was corrected and published by Saeed Nafisi but considering some defects in the context and also the availability of some manuscripts which were not in the access of Saeed Nafisi, the re-correcting of this divan seems necessary. In this research, after the introduction and introducing manuscripts which are used by Saeed Nafisi in the correction of Ohadi’s Divan, we investigate the defects in Saeed Nafisi’s correction consist of 1. The ambiguity of the main manuscript and the correction method; 2. Inaccurate comparison among manuscripts; 3. Uncritical correction or no reference of substitute manuscripts in the footnote; 4. Displacements; 5. Omissions; 6. Affixed verses; 7. Repetition; 8. Misreading and miswritten; 9. Publication error; 10. Defects in rhythm; 11. Duplicated Rhymes; 12. Wrong punctuations; 13. Lack of essential contents and descriptions.
