The true Representation of the Words via Comparison of Two Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh and Tarikh al-Mu’jam

The present paper seeks to correct some historical errors in Jamichr('39') al-Tawarikh (history of Persia and Islam), edited by Mohammad Roshan using a content analysis technique and a comparative approach. In correcting those errors, we referred to Tarikh-i Muchr('39')jam, which is one of the sources of Rashid al-Din Fazlullah in the comprehensive compilation of histories, and researchers to this day have neglected this matter. The expressions taken from Jamichr('39') al-Tawarikh were confronted verbatim with the terms in Tarikh-i Muchr('39')jam, as an auxiliary version to correct these errors. According to the meaning and significance of the expressions, the correct forms of Jamichr('39') al-Tawarikh were shown under Pishdadi and Kiani figures. Besides comparing the terms, in some cases, the ellipse of some phrases in the printed Jamichr('39') al-Tawarikh, distorted and illegible in the copy used by the editor, was completed. The result is that Jamichr('39') al-Tawarikh is not a precise correction of the final form of this book, and with the application of these corrections, later editions of this book will be more revised.
