Abstract :
Abstract Correction of the texts left in handwriting is one of the most important literary researches. One of these texts, the Mathnavi of Shahnameh with 8156 distiches, is from an anonymous poet with the pseudonym of Sharar. The poet has not been mentioned in any literary annals. No information is available on his birth and death. Only from a few lines in the same source it turns out that his pen-name was Sharar and his home city was Bukhara and was forced to live in India. According to several other passages, the Mathnavi of Shahnameh is about the wars of Mohammad Shah of India. The poetry of Shahnameh was written in the twelfth century and was transcribed in Indian calligraphy. In the manuscript catalog, there is only one handwriting of this system which is also in the library of Ayatollah Golpayegani in Qom, registered with the number 2612. But the compilers of this system managed to find another version of this mathnavi which was in the later section of the same version. This correction is based on those two copies.
