Abstract

Gulshan Balāghat is a collection of letters and writings of Abdul Wahab Ma'mouri, a literary figure of the tenth and eleventh centuries AH. So far, two manuscripts of this collection have been identified, based on which Niloufar Mohammadi has published an edited version. This edition is a clear example of the catastrophe of the edition in recent years. Strange misreadings, strange distortions and corrections, ignoring the standards of scientific and critical editing are the main drawbacks of the present work, which clearly shows the need for re-editing of this book.
