A Review of the Translation of Seyyed Murtiḍā's Amālī

Ghurar al-Fawāid and Durar al-Qalāid, known as Amālī, is one of the most important and famous works of Seyyed Murtiḍā', which deals with various literary, interpretive, hadith, theological, poetry criticism, .... topics and has been discussed and used in scientific and academic circles since its genesis. There have been no Persian translations of this book so far, and a great need for its Persian translation was strongly felt. Dr. Hossein Saberi has recently translated it and published it in four volumes, which by adding one volume as an index, has become a total of five volumes. The present article states the strengths and weaknesses of the translation and concludes that this translation must once again be carefully and word-for-word compared with the original text. Also, it must be re-edited, and its hard-to-read words need to be transliterated. The book's footnotes should also be revised, and some of them should be omitted or summarized. The book indexes and the two bibliographies also need to be revised and standardized.
