چکیده:
The generalities of the Divan of Amir Mo'ezzi, with an introduction, correction, and annotation by Professor Mohammadreza Ghanbari, has been scholarly organized with the aim of clarifying the understanding of many verses, by utilizing the Holy Quran, noble Hadith, and Arabic and Persian poetry and prose, and providing evidence for strange words, idioms, metaphors, and similes appearing in the poet's poetry. The corrector, by referring to two hundred and twenty sources, has addressed and reviewed the opinions of literary critics, historians, and others who have commented on this Divan.
خلاصه ماشینی:
For instance, the effort and labor exerted by the late high-ranking, pious Prince Farhad Mirza Motamad al-Dawlah and his eminent scholar-literatus, the late Mirza Mohammad Baqir Isfahani1 (may Allah Ta'ala have mercy on them both), in the correction, comparison, annotation, and commentary of the magnificent book Wafayat al-Ayan by Ibn Khallikan—let us not overlook the differences in manuscripts and the very useful and precise marginal notes that these two great men have written alongside the one thousand and seventy-five pages of the two volumes of that book—and I hope that dear scholars and scientists will not overlook the fact that even now, that same lithographic edition of Wafayat al-Ayan, which was printed in the year 1284 AH (meaning ten years before the birth of the late Allameh Qazvini), is in some respects better than all three editions I have consulted, namely the European edition, the old Egyptian edition, and even this recent edition which the late esteemed Professor Ehsan Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him) has researched and compared; in total is better, and let them not criticize me too much or accuse me of antiquarianism ــ indeed, the edition by the late Ehsan Abbas and the European edition have an advantage over Farhad Mirza's edition in terms of the index of proper names and poems, but in terms of many textual expressions, what those two scholars deemed preferable is certainly superior; likewise, one certainly cannot overlook some of the Persian and Arabic texts that were lithographed in the late Qajar period, such as Kalila and Dimna, which was produced through the efforts of the late Amir Nizam Gerusi ــ that extremely learned literatus and renowned eloquent epistolary writer ــ, and Uyūn Akhbār al-Riḍā alayhi al-salām, produced through the efforts of the late pious Haj Najm al-Dawlah, and Tarikh-i Bayhaqi, which the late venerable pioneer scholar ــ may his soul be sanctified ــ corrected and annotated as the "master of the masters of his time"; one cannot disregard these great men or fail to count them among the pioneers who originated this noble tradition in Iran.
