Abstract

Occasionally, valuable manuscripts are found in different world libraries, after which important information is added to Persian literature. One of these sources is the newly found manuscript of Rasāil al-‘Ushāq. Rasāil al-‘Ushāq wa Vasāil al-Mushtāq is the name of a work written by Saifi Neishābūrī, a poet and writer of the 6th century of Hijri, with the subject of correspondence and letter writing, including over a hundred romantic letters. This honorable source, with the title of Rasāil, contains verses from several ancient poets up to the 6th century, some of which are not found in poets' Divans and other literary books and are considered new finds. In this article, we have tried to present new poems from some ancient poets based on this source.
