Modarres-e Reḍavi’s Edition of Anvari’s divān: A Critical Assessment

Abstract

The aim of this paper is two-folded: 1) to discuss Modarres-e Reḍavi’s edition of Anvari’s divān in order to show that this edition, although still very valuable, should be used cautiously: even for non-philological, literary-oriented studies manuscripts should be checked. These should include not only the newly-discovered codices, not used by the editor, but also the manuscripts he used, which must be double-checked; 2) to give a solid starting point to any scholar attempting to investigate Anvari’s divān from a philological perspective, by showing in which areas Modarres-e Reḍavi’s edition is lacking and to what extent.
