Abstract:
copying, collecting and compiling poems of poets in previous centuries was done in several ways. sometimes the poet wrote his poem in his notebook during his life and over time, and after his death, that notebook remained the same. sometimes the poet himself would collect his poetry collection and arrange it according to his own taste. sometimes his friends and supporters compiled his poetry collection after his death, and sometimes in later centuries his poetry collection was compiled by a scribe according to himself taste. in each of these methods, the order of the poems (especially the sonnets) has been specific. in this research, we intend to deal with the methods of arranging poems in the books of poets and see which method is more logical, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each method.the results of this study show that the alphabetical order of the poetry collections is by no means based on stylistic studies and research related to the evolution of iranian thought and art, and the best method is the way in which poetry books are compiled today.
Machine summary:
Manuscript, alphabetical system, historical-based system, prosodic system, divan arrangement Introduction Persian poetry divans, before being collections of versified speech, are powerful and authentic media that have transmitted continuous narratives of the language, history, and culture of Persian speakers throughout the centuries.
Following the Constitutional era, due to the great intellectual and political transformations that occurred in Eastern societies and consequently in Iran, many traditional methods of arranging divans were almost set aside, and poetry was organized into collections based on the date of composition.
The changes that have appeared in the systems of arrangement and categorization of divans, along with the abundance of versified works throughout history, indicate the necessity of researching the methods of compiling poetic divans (especially the forms of qasida and ghazal).
Most previous scribes, especially those after the eighth century, have observed the alphabetical order in the arrangement of poetic divans (whether at the request of patrons or according to personal taste), and this method has been regarded as a tradition in the writing of subsequent centuries.
In any case, this point was considered a normal matter in ancient books to the extent that Allameh Qazvini, in the introduction to the edited Divan of Hafiz, emphasizes that (unlike the method of scribes) in this correction, the arrangement of the ghazals is based on "all the letters of the rhyme and the letters of the radif"; however, contrary to what has been said, they have placed the ghazal we are currently in at the beginning of the divan.
