Among the famous and reliable corrections of Saadi's Bustan, including the corrected version of Professor Gholam Hossein Yousefi, despite many merits, there are some mistakes.
Professor Yousefi's proofreading is important in the literary and academic community and is used and cited by professors and students as one of the main sources of Saadi's poetry. The author, who has been teaching Busan at the university for several years, while appreciating the valuable efforts of Professor Yousefi, considers it her duty to share with the readers of this work, the problems that have occurred to her while studying and teaching.
For this purpose, she first extracted the verses that seemed to have a connection with other verses in terms of meaning or syntactic structure, etc. Saadi and sometimes other poets chose the preferred recording.
Therefore, in this article, twenty-six examples of these problems are classified and discussed in the following order:Problems related to the meaning of the word or sentence.
Verses that do not match Saadi's speech style.
Problems that are related to the syntax of words.
Problems caused by not paying attention to the script of the text.
Problems related to the connection of verses.
