One of the most important and captivating works of early narrative prose is the Kalīla wa-Dimna, translated by Nasrollah Monshi. This fable, narrated through the voices of animals, holds a special and significant place among ancient prose texts due to its narrative style and elevated, technical prose. Given that Kalīla wa-Dimna is a standard course in the undergraduate curriculum for Persian Language and Literature, its complex prose requires a word-by-word and line-by-line explanation to provide a refined and comprehensive commentary for students and professors in this field. The commentary by Professor Mojtaba Minovi Tehrani is the most widely accepted and utilized in academic and literary circles. However, this study aims to highlight some of the shortcomings of Minovi's commentary and endeavors to present a more coherent interpretation by relying on the original Kalīla wa-Dimna text and related sources.

Divan Khaqani is one of the texts that requires mental effort to understand; the difficulty of Khaqani's poetry on the one hand and its teaching in different courses of Persian language and literature on the other hand has made commentators interested in its description, and several descriptions and excerpts have been published. One of these books is a book called "Saghar-e Bolourin". This book was written by Mr. Ahmed Ghanipour Malik Shah and Tirgan Publishing published it for the first time in 2019. In addition to the good aspects of this book, there are some problems, and a detailed and complete review of all of them does not fit in one article. Therefore, the most important items have been selected and reviewed here. Semantic problems of some verses, numerous uses of other people's works without referring to them, writing problems, incorrect references, unjustified changes in the text of poems, not following the precise and scientific method in writing and documenting and introducing the list of sources, not introducing the description method, and other requirements of writing a book are among the things that are included in the list of the book shortcomings. While carefully examining the mentioned problems, finally, by showing many inaccuracies in the book, we come to the conclusion that the book needs serious editing and these problems noticeably cast a shadow on the scientific position of the book.

Since much of the existing commentary has traditionally been written by Muslim men, how gender relations and women's rights are described plays significant role. But with the rise of Islamic feminism, some Muslim women in this movement are debating new evaluations of these traditional interpretations in order to conceive of equality between men and women from an Islamic perspective based on religious principles. They support the Quran. Meanwhile, some pioneers of this idea have focused their work on re-reading the text of the Qur'an as the most basic Islamic source, claiming that Muslim men have read the Qur'an from patriarchal perspective, thereby incorporating gender inequality and patriarchy into the interpretation of the Qur'an. the authors claim that such a rule doesn̓t have a patriarchal view among Shiite thinkers and commentators, and although gender can be effective in reading the text, adherence to the original Qur'anic principles and the centrality of the monotheistic paradigm will prevent biased interpretations. The study of the strength of men over women, which is one of the most challenging verses of the Qur'an on women's rights, from two perspectives of women (Wadud, Barlas and Hebri) and men (Tabatabai, Javadi Amoli, Motahhari) despite differences in intellectual, doctrinal and emergence, It gives similar results, indicating biased interpretations by Shiite commentators. That masculinity is a limited and conditional virtue for men is in order to fulfill family and social responsibilities in support of women's rights, and the meanings of superiority and domination over women are nothing more than misconception.

The great commentary of "al-Mīzān" written by ‘Allāmah Ayatullāh Seyyed Muhammad Hossein Ṭabāṭabāī, due to its fame and popularity, does not need to be introduced and described. This commentary, while covering various topics, has a special approach, which is its focusing on the education and spiritual development of the individual and society, so it can be said that "al-Mīzān" is an educational and social commentary. This precious commentary, translated by the late Ayatollah Mousavi Hamdani, has been printed and published many times in the form of twenty thick volumes or forty normal volumes. Its voluminous size and number of volumes is one of the obstacles that prevent interested researchers from using and studying it. Also, the multitude of daily problems and occupations of people today, causes people not to study such voluminous books. So it is possible to simplify this work and make more people interested in studying it by summarizing it in a way that does not harm the essence of the topics.  Before this, some scholars have tried to summarize this book, but each of them has flaws that cannot be ignored. One of them is a book that an Arabic writer summarized from the original Arabic text of al-Mīzān according to his own understanding, and then it was translated into Persian. And another one is a selection and a summary of the commentary of some verses, not all verses. Anyway, there was not a complete summary of al-Mīzān in Persian language. However, after six years of continuous work, its summary along with scientific and literary editing was completed and published. While examining this summery, I came across many verbal and content problems, the description of which requires an independent book. In this article, some problems with the book have been mentioned. It should be noted that in the translation of the verses of the Qur'an, which was composed and penned by the late Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Baqer Mousavi Hamdani, some problems in the literary and writing forms were detected. In addition, in some cases, the interpretation presented by the translator was in serious conflict with the opinions of Allāmah. I tried to correct the translation of the verses based on the Allāmah's opinions and remove its problems. In fact, a complete revision has been made in the translation of the verses by preserving the special style and literature of the translator.

Mohammad Taghi Ghiasi started his career of translator with the translation of a number of literary criticism books, including a Commentary on the Red and the Black of Stendhal, a Commentary on The Stanger of Camus and a Commentary on the Nausea of Sartre. According to his claims, these translations provided useful resources to the scholars and critics of his time to get acquainted with new theories of critique and their applications on literary oeuvres. To verify the validity of this claim we should first study the history of literary criticism of Iran in order to have a better understanding of its achievements and deficiencies before the advent of the above-mentioned translations. Then, we will examine the books themselves, their framework, goals and audience, to see if Ghiasi's selection has been innovative and responsive to his time requirements. Finally, the selective-composed approach of the translator in a Commentary on The Stanger of Camus will be studied.
