Revision of a Few Verses of Asir Akhsikatiʹs Divan

Asir-eddin Akhsikati was among the Persian poets of late six century who was skilled in creation of new concepts and meanings and a well-known elegist of the Persian language. He lived in Ekhsiket in a region of Transoxiana. His book of poetry, known as Divan, was only revised and published once in 1999 by professor Rokn-oldin Homayonfarokh. This publication includes a preface on the poetʹs life and the method used for the revision and rewriting of old manuscripts about Akhsikatiʹs work. Although the reviser has gone through a lot of trouble for the revision and has compared a number of manuscripts, due to delay in the comparison of the manuscripts and several misreading and disability to read many parts from the original work, added to the displacement and omission of verses, a high number of the poetic verses of this poetry book remain ambiguous and unclear. There are also too many deficiencies in the poems as well. The author of this research has had access to a few old versions of the poetʹs book of poetry and compared it with the published copy, finally identifying some of the mistakes, the demanded corrections, the unclear parts and even the rhythmical differences, some of which are mentioned in here. As a matter of fact some of the words have been misspelled and therefore found a totally different meaning.
