| Summary: | A brief look at poets’ poetry shows that a quatrain is often attributed to numerous poets. Therefore, recognizing each poet’s quatrains is one of the most difficult parts of text correction. Although developing a series of quatrains is influential in the identification of poets of some quatrains, being thematic, single version, great number of writings, and copying from each other have created various problems in identifying the poets. Also, Kamaloddin Isfahani is one of the poets who plays an important role in writing quatrains. His poems have been scrutinized by quatrain anthologies collectors. By taking into account these two issues, the present study seeks to investigate his quatrains through Kamaloddin Esfahani’s generalities manuscripts and based on resources such as Nozhatolmajales, Mounesolahrar, Kholasatolashaar, collection of poems, Persian and Arabic correspondence, and ancient Safeenatun of quatrains. The current study used analytical approach in which archival sources as well as other researchers’ scientific findings were used. The incentive to conduct this study is mainly due to the importance of Kamaloddin Esfahani during the sixth and seventh centuries, especially in the form of quatrain, and the lack of comprehensive research on the subject. To bridge the current gap, we specified the poet’s extensions and scraps of quatrains in Bahrololoomi’s corrected text and validated anthologies on assigning quatrain poems to poets. |
