Majalis al -ushshaq attributed to sultan Hussein Bayqara, is a Tadzkera with focused on carnal love. Its compilation ended in 909 Ah. This work was edited, and published in 1996 (1375 Ah) by Gholamreza Tabatabaei Majd. TabatabaeiMajd’s Printing is the first edition of Majalis al – ushshaq, so he always has accomplishments. But the lack of access to authentic manuscripts and the lack of attention to the scientific principles of critical correction led to slippage in it, and consequently, it does not have sufficient scientific credence. Regarding the Newly discovered manuscripts of Majalis al – ushshaq and the defects of the previous correction, it seems necessary to re-correct it. The present article tries to prove this necessity by introducing the work and the olden manuscripts of it and the review of TabatabaeiMajd’s printing. For this purpose, after the introduction of the work, its position and value in Persian language, the author of the book, and the critique of the comments on the assignment of the work to the author, the previous publications of the work were introduced. The research has shown that Majalis al ushshaq has been published five times, printed four times in lithography and one time in printed form. The review of the only print of the book showed that there were three kinds of errors: correction’s structural defects, errors due to Precision and negligence in writing, errors in the text of the Majalis al ushshaq.
