Abstract

There are ancient and exquisite codices of Mojmal al-Loghah written by Ibn Fares on Arabic literature, belonging to the 5th and 6th centuries. Examining these manuscripts shows that some of them were written and corrected by Shiite scribes and scholars. In the first part of the article, referring to the nine existing copies of this book from the fifth century, it is shown that some of them were written and corrected by Shiite writers and scholars. In the second part of the article, an ancient, exquisite, and Shiite copy of the book Mojmal al-Loghah is introduced, which was read and listened to in various circles (apparently in Qom and perhaps Ray), and it was presented to several Imami scholars namely Mohammad ibn Ali ibn Bondar, Hasan ibn Fadar Qomi, and Rashid al-Razi.
