The Book Al-Kashkul is written by Bahāʾ al-Dīn Muhammad ʿAmilī known as Sheikh Bahāʾi. This book is one of the valuable and precious works of Sheikh Bahāʾi and is considered as a mirror of his knowledge and inspiration. According to the researches, the date of its writing was between 988 and 1029 AH and has been organized in a collection of five sections which include various scientific terms in an irregular format in verse and prose in Arabic and Persian, a mixture of the hadiths of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the infallible imams, philosophical, theological, ethical, mystical, exegesis, hei’at (traditional astronomy), astronomy texts, geometric proofs, syntactical rules, anecdotes, historical materials, poems, etc. and nearly a hundred manuscripts of this book have been identified so far. Examining the manuscripts shows that this book is accompanied by a lot of confusion and disorganization in terms of the text, such that most of its manuscripts are not consistent and harmonious in terms of arrangement, and there is no proper logical order in these manuscripts. In addition to the descriptions of the content of the book and the brief introduction of the author and the genealogy of Kashkul, this study, through a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to examine the features of the selected manuscripts, of this work in terms of the text, the composition of the content, the features of the new correction, and the shortcomings of its former correction.

Sadr Al-Din Mohammad b. Ibrahim b. Yahya Qawami Shirazi, also known as Mulla Sadra left behind a number of handwritings. These manuscripts represent either his original works or his copies of other authors' works. This article aims to introduce one of these manuscripts which is a 13-leave book and includes a selection of Mowlavi's Masnavi-yi Ma'navi poems. It is kept in Shiraz's Pars Museum and neither the scribe's signature nor the date of composition is available. This manuscript is not included in Mulla Sadra's lists of manuscripts or works.The present study investigated the codicology and the attribution of the script of Mowlavi's Masnavi-yi Ma'navi's selected manuscript to Mulla Sadra Shirazi. Thus, the historical evidence of this manuscript was first discussed and then its script and the visual features were mentioned. The aforementioned manuscript includes selected verses of second to fourth books of Masnavi-yi Ma'navi.This manuscript was written when Mulla Sadra engaged in his studies. The binding date of the current manuscript can be traced back to the late 19th century. Within this time, Mirza Abu-Talib Razavi presented this manuscript to Mutamid al-Dawlah, the sovereign of Fars. During the reign of Farhad Mirza Mutamid al-Dawlah, Mirza Abu Talib Razavi assumed the position of head of the Fars Court of Justice. The additional date of of the beginning note of the manuscript coincides with the reign of Uwais Mirza Ehtesham al-Dawlah, the son of Farhad Mirza, as ruler of Fars. He also held the designation of Mutamid al-Dawlah.

There seems to be an enormous research gap in the study of literary wordpuzzles, which practically covers various areas of inquiry from literary history and investigation into their functions and applications to the revival of manuscript copies and explanation of the rules and procedures of puzzle making. Mīrhusayn Muʿammā’ī Nishābūrī (d. 904/1499), who followed ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jāmī in composing wordpuzzles and was a prominent puzzle maker of the 9th/15th and 10th/16th centuries himself, wrote a treatise on the rules and procedures of puzzle making entitled Dastūr-i Muʿammā. The treatise, completed in 904/1499, contains 650 literary wordpuzzles composed by the author together with brief notes on puzzle making rules and procedures. More than one hundred manuscript copies of the treatise have been preserved at libraries across Iran and the world. The complexity of the puzzles distinguishes the treatise from other works of the same genre, prompting various literary scholars to write commentaries and provide explanatory notes on the puzzles from its completion in the 10th/16th century to the 12th/18th century. In order to fill part of the research gap and revive an important treatise on word puzzles, Dastūr-i Muʿammā was critically edited on the basis of MS 4495/1 preserved at the Central Library and Documentation Center of the University of Tehran as the base copy, adopting an eclectic method of emendation and providing a systematic method for the explanation and solution of the puzzles.

Molla Ahmad Naraghi (died 1244 or 1245 AH) is one of the greatest jurists of Iran in the early Qajar era. In addition to authoring numerous works in jurisprudence and principles of jurisprudence, mainly in Arabic, he also left valuable works in Persian literature and ethics. Molla Ahmad's Me’raj al-Sa’adat, which is a free translation (from Arabic to Persian) of his father Molla Mohammad Mahdi's book entitled Jame’ al-Sa’adat with additions and changes, has a special place among Persian moral books. In addition to the fact that many manuscripts of this book have reached us, it has been printed many times in Lithography and etc. However, there is no edited text of this book based on scientific criteria. The most reliable and famous edition of it was published by Hejrat Publications (without the editor's name) in 1378 "with correction, research, comment and editing". Various faults can be seen in this edition, which shows carelessness in editing and research. In this article, we will criticize this edition from different perspectives of edition, stylistics and the principles of text correction, and we will present our suggestions for its editing.

The results of the analysis of ancient manuscripts show that the term Inha’ was originally used to convey the message. The term was gradually used to refer to textual traditions, beginning in about the sixth century AH. The findings of our study show that in the seventh and eighth centuries AH, this term became widespread among Muslim scholars and found different meanings .After the eighth century AH, Inha’ became very popular and became a well-known term, though with different uses, in the field of textual research. In general, the term of Inha’ represents three specific uses: first, the approval of the manuscript; in these cases, Inha’s notes mean that the manuscript has been reviewed. Second means editing the manuscript; in these cases, Inha’s notes means that the person or persons have read and edited the manuscript. The third meaning that is more recent is the concept of description and interpretation of the manuscript text. In these cases, the person who writes the Inha’ note either describes the manuscript himself or states that another person has described the manuscript.

In a good many manuscripts and amended Divans of Hafiz, there appears a ghazal beginning thus: دوش از مسجد سوی میخانه آمد پیر ما چیست یاران طریقت بعد از این تدبیر ما This ghazal, according to many editors and experts on Hafiz, genuinely belongs to him, and there are even a good few scholars who believe that Hafiz has written this ghazal under the influence of Attar’s story about Sheikh-e San’ān. However, Mohammad Amin Riahi is of the opinion that this ghazal has been unjustifiably added to Hafiz’s Divan. Also, in his edition of the poet’s Divan, Salim Neisāri has placed this ghazal separately among the verses believed to have been added to the Divan at a later time. In the present study, the aforementioned ghazal is examined based on two important textological principles: codicology and stylistics so that authenticity level of the ghazal becomes clear.

Qorrat al-’ayn or Qorrat al-’oyun, is one of the old Persian texts written on the comparison of Arabic sayings with their Persian counterparts and with Qor’anic verses. The writing of this book seems to have taken place around the latter half of the 6th H./12 CE, probably by an author named Qāzi ūsh. Of this work there are a good number of copies in various libraries all over the world, the oldest of which, until recently, was believed to be the MS dated 722 H. at the Fāteh Librar y, Istanbul. Nonetheless, there exists a MS in a collection belonging to Jalal al-Din Homā’i that is dated 651 H. presently kept at Iran’s National Library.
In this article, the features of the manuscript and its importance in conducting a second emendation of the Qorrat al-’ayn and the establishing of its composition date have been inspected.

Seven methods of textual criticism used by Muslim scholars in the first few centuries of Islamic history are described and their later development is analyzed. Design/Methodology/Approach: Textual analysis. Formation of the tradition goes back to the second century CE long before it developed in the “West.” The development of the tradition took place in three stages: 1) multiple readings;2) codicology; 3) genealogy.

The outliving manuscripts have not enjoyed the same future. Although some manuscripts are favored with accurate information paving the way for researchers’ studies, for a considerable number of which, there is not enough information available. Some manuscripts are wrongly associated with false authors; the real authors of which are anonymous. A great number of manuscripts have been partly or wholly destroyed by natural and unnatural phenomena as well. The present study aims at evaluating the data reported from manuscripts adopting a method which has recently been referred to as ‘Reverse Engineering’ in engineering sciences. Through this method, based on ‘mere technology’ or ‘technology accompanied by other majors and fields of study’, it would be possible to increase the scientific facets of codicologistic studies. Consequently, it would be possible to report on the non-authenticity or counterfeiters of manuscripts. the researcher has tried to utilize the books and articles available in the two majors of “Librarianship Sciences” as well as “Engineering Sciences.” It can be concluded that the borderlines between phraseology, research, and the criticism are not crystal-clear revealing a direct relationship between reverse engineering and codicology.

The most difficult part of codicology is analyzing the specifications of the paper used in a manuscript, which contains a part of the manuscript's historical background and identity. However, manuscript cataloguers have not done any analytical study to present precise criteria and standards for determining the type of paper used in manuscripts. Therefore the present study is done to compensate for this shortcoming.Design/Methodology/Approach: The present research first introduces different types of papers used by Muslims and Iranians for creating manuscripts and books. It then reviews some common types of papers used in manuscripts, the specifications of these papers, and the approximate period in which each of them was popular. In the next part examples of the manuscripts which possess each of the described specifications are introduced.
