Abstract

Anvarī is among the poets whose poems were well received both in his own time and throughout the ages, holding a prominent position in Persian literature. The Authors of Jungs, (Literary Collections) like other literary figures, paid special attention to Anvarī and his poems. Therefore, one of the important sources for accessing Anvarī’s poems and their accurate recordings is the literary collections called Jungs and Safinah. In this article, we have attempted to examine Anvarī’s poems found in the famous manuscript known as "Jung of Yaḥyā Tawfīq " preserved in the library of Tawfīq Yaḥyā in Turkey - according to the colophon, dated 754 AH. For this purpose, firstly, we introduced his newly discovered poems, which were not included in Anvarī’s divan edited by the late Mudaris Rezavi and also the late Nafisi. Secondly, we have quoted poems that are only found in the divan of the late Nafisi. Finally, we have mentioned some points regarding other verses of the Jung and previous corrections of these verses.
