Khwaja Nasir al-Din al-Tusi is one of the greatest scientists of Iran in the 7th century AH, who is internationally famous. There are many works left from Khwaja, some of which are in the form of questions and answers. In this article, the correspondence of Shams al-Din Abarkoohi with Khwaja Nasir al- Din al-Tusi is introduced. This systematic question includes issues such as the domination of determinism over human life and how God's torment and punishment, in spite of man's absolute inability to commit sin, are also questions about the reason for Satan's disobedience and his expulsion from the divine court. Khwaja has answered them with good taste and wise expression. It is obvious that studying and discovering the unrecognized works of this precious scientist is an attempt to better understand his intellectual foundations, ideas, and thoughts, and draws a more accurate picture of this wise scientist in the minds of those interested in knowledge and literature.

Dr. Rio, in his Catalog of the British Museum Library, and Allameh Mohammad Qazvini in his Articles have done research on some of Imadi's praised ones, but neither have examined Imadi's poetry in their research. Professor Qolam Mustafa-Khan has done this in this article and has come to the conclusion that some scribes have imagined two poets with the pseudonym Imadi to be one person. By researching authentic manuscripts, the professor has separated the poems of these two poets and explained the court relations of these two poets.

Sadr al-Din Ibrahim Amini-Heravi (882-941 AH)'s Book of Prayers is a Persian description and translation of Poetical Payers attributed to Imam Ali (AS), which was written in the middle of Shawwal in 918 AH. This virtuous scientist has divided his book to three parts: the meaning of words, the prose translation, and the poetical translation. In the first part, the emphasis is on the infinitive (source) meaning of the words; in the second part, he has translated each verse into prose; and in the third part, he has brought a quatrain for each verse. There are two full copies of this work, and parts of it are mentioned in several manuscripts. In this article, Sadr al-Din Ibrahim is introduced and his book is edited.

Mashikhah (source book) of Junaid Baliani is one of the last texts belonging to the source writing style in pre-Safavid Iran. Shams al-Din ibn Jazari (d. 833 AH) has written it in the biographies of the sources (mashayikh) of his source (shaykh), Junaid ibn Ahmad Baliani (d. 809 or 811 AH), a prominent chatty from Shiraz in the 8th century AH. Considering that this mashikhah (source book) is considered as one of the missing texts, in this article, an attempt has been made to retrieve the remaining quotations from it in the next historical resources, especially Ibn Hajar Asqalani's al-Durar ul-Kamalah.

The correct form of Arabic entries in Persian texts has always been the subject of discussion and correction by proofreaders, commentators, readers and those who are interested in these texts. The combination of Persian with the language of revelation has enriched this language. Honorable hadiths and Arabic phrases and poems, used by authors and poets, have also added to the beauty of this language. However, little knowledge and ignorance of some of the authors and scribes have sometimes caused a word, composition or phrase and sentence to erroneously enter the texts and confuse the reader. Attar's Tazkirat al-Awliya’ is no exception. The discussion of the present article is about the following phrase in Tazkirat al-Awliya edited by [Dr.] Shafi'i Kadkani: "The pious survive and the sinners annihilate." First, its speaker is discussed and then the correct form is determined.

In this article, a newly-found version of his work entitled Misbah ul- Janan and Miftah ul-Janan is introduced. This work is a unique translation of [the book] Junnat ul-Aman al-Waqi'ah and Janat ul-Iman ul-Baqiyah known as Misbah by the Lebanese scholar Allama Sheikh Ibrahim Kaf'ami with a comprehensive and versatile introduction and conclusion. This, by itself, is a special advantage over some of [other] Misbah Kaf'ami's authentic translations. Misbah ul-Janan was translated in 1140 AH and, in 1149 AH, it was calligraphed in Naskh and Nastaliq script along with accents, and was donated to Mirza Mohammad Rafi’, Treasurer of Dar al-Mo'menin Rasht and is currently kept in the library of Astan Quds Razavi.

Muslims in Andalusia established a superior civilization, one of the most important reasons of which was paying attention and dependence on books. The subject of this article is to explain the role of the Andalusians in creating books and collecting and promoting them as a commercial commodity and its impact on the development of Andalusian civilization until the end of the seventh century AH.

In 1898, Francisco Codera [Zaidin] made a serious study on the condition of the lines of Arabic texts and suggested ways to advance the paleography of Arabic; but, a century later, little progress had been made in this regard. Whatever the reasons, the history of paleography seems to be able to explain the problems it has been facing with. In the future, much of the started program, which began in 1898, remains relevant. It is also appropriate to reflect on the methods of analyzing the Arabic script. In some cases, examples are provided to start a broader discussion.

This document, which is recorded in 4 pages on Nakhudi Indian paper in Nastaliq script and context, is one of the endowments of the late Mohammad Ramezani to the library of Grand Ayatollah Boroujerdi and is kept in this library under number 3863.

This need is twofold in introducing contextual documents because they are more important in researching the economic, cultural, and political issues of states and nations that are directly related to the court, courtiers, and bureaucracy. According to the author's research, the booklets related to the locker rooms are numbered and so far no document similar to the present document has been introduced and read in terms of content and subject matter.
