A reflection on Sendbad-nameh

Sendbad-nameh, from Zahiri Samarghandi, is one of the old texts in Persian literature, which has been compiled in the 6th century (A.H). The importance of this book is in its literary narrative style. Sendbad-nameh has been critically corrected twice. Ahmad Atash has corrected it for the first time and Mohammad Bagher Kamal-addini for the second time. Although some of the errors from the first one have been corrected the second time, it has its own problems, too. The purpose of this short survey is to correct the errors visible in these two books. Some errors have been documented to the phrases of Zahiri's other book. To correct the errors of the poems cited in this book, we have referred to the original books in which these poems were cited such as Divan-e-Emadi Shahriari, and Divan-e-Abolfaraj-e- rouni. Some Persian and Arabic poets who are not specified in margins of the previous books have also been determined in here.
