Abstract

Nargesi Abhari is one of the poets of the ninth and tenth centuries AH and few copies of her Divan have survived to the present day and have been published. He is a lyrical and romantic poet and has also been involved in quatrains and Mathnavi. Nargesi Abhari's Divan has been edited by Hamid Reza Ghelichkhani and published in 1997. The edition of the Divan has been done based on two main manuscripts (the manuscripts of Malek Library and the University of Tehran) and two other supplementary manuscripts. The printed divan has only four quatrains, all four of which are composed by Khaghani Shervani. It also lacks some of the poet's sonnets and quatrains. We found 94 extra verses in a manuscript of Nargesi's s Divan written in 959 AH and is kept in the Munich Library, which we will discuss in the present article.
