Although Dehkhodaâs "Amsal va Hekam" is one of the most important books in Persian proverbs and is one of the most referred books in Persian language and literature and comparative paremiology researches, it is not free of shortcomings, like all of the handwritten works, and needs investigation and rewriting in some cases.

In this regand, after studying the book and considering the texts and papers written on critique of this collection, authors attempt to gather and investigate these shortcomings by mentioning evidences and instances of Persian and Arabic.
