Abstract
Catalog of Iranian Handwritten works(Dena) and Catalogs of Iranian Manuscripts (Fankha) are two large collections for identifying manuscripts in Iran by various authors in various fields of science. One of the philosophers mentioned in these two books is Mullah Rajab Ali Tabrizi. In Dena (new edition) six works and in Fakhna four works have been attributed to Tabrizi. The main issue of this article is the validation of the attributions given to Tabrizi in these two books. Therefore, according to the manuscripts, catalogs, and biographical books and memoirs, an attempt has been made to carry out this validation. The purpose of this article is to show the position of the manuscripts attributed to this philosopher and on the other hand to correct the mistakes that have been made about Tabrizi in the catalogs. The conclusion reached by this article is that the authors of both books in mentioning the list of Tabrizi books and their description were not careful and in most cases trusted other catalogs. Hence, other catalog errors are also included in these two books.
