Abstract

Different manuscripts of Seyyed Ali Hamedāni›s Urād-e Fathiye and its explanation and excerpts are available in Iran. The scholars have only mentioned one manuscript of Urād-e Fathiye, and two manuscripts of Resālat al-Urād, and one manuscript of Asnād-e Urād while 28 manuscripts of Seyyed Ali Hamedāni›s Urād have been so far discovered: three manuscripts of Urād-e Fathiye, five manuscripts of Resālat al-Urād, five manuscripts of Sharh-e Ja›fari, four manuscripts of other explanations of Urād-e Fathiye, four manuscripts of the excerpts of Urād-e Fathiye, and seven other
unidentified manuscripts of Seyyed›s Urād. Having studied the sources related to Seyyed›s works and examined the manuscripts catalogs, the author has studied the discovered manuscripts as much as he could. After classifying and introducing all the published manuscripts, he analyzed and criticized the catalogs and the points which the cataloguers
mentioned about those manuscripts. Some of the cataloguers have considered two manuscripts of Resālat al-Urād, three manuscripts of explanations of Urād-e Fathiye, and one manuscripts of the excerpts of Urād-e Fathiye as Seyyed Ali›s Urād-e Fathiye; and regarded two unidentified manuscripts of his work as sharh-e Ja›fari. Introducing the 28
recently-found manuscripts of Seyyed Ali›s Urād along with its explanations and excerpts has opened the way for other scholars to give priority to the critical correction and publication of Seyyed Ali›s works. This article tries to remind the researchers of the necessity of the compilation of a critical and updated bibliography of all of Seyyed Ali›s works;
therefore, the addressees would have more new information about this well-known scholar.
