The publication of newly found ancient works, if done carefully and with scientific principles, will pave the way for research in various fields of knowledge, but if done carelessly, it itself becomes problematic and adds knots to the knots. The Nargesi Abhari's Divan Correction is one of these cases in which many misreadings have occurred and the literary researcher cannot benefit from it. The book editor has chosen recordings that sometimes ignores the weight of the prosody, which is one of the priorities of ancient Persian poetry, and sometimes sacrifices the meaning for the dubious recording and puts a meaningless choice in front of the audience. Sometimes spelling mistakes also prevent Nargesi poetry from being understood. The present article points out the weaknesses and errors of this correction and points out the need to revise it in another edition.

The book "Analytical Approach to Rhetoric" is one of the recently-published scholarly textbooks in the field of rhetoric that, while relying on the basics of traditional rhetoric, has attempted to use new approaches in this field as well. Moreover, the critical aspect and the approach of this book to review the most prevalent issues in the field of rhetoric, which have been stated in previous sources as well as its attempt to provide a detailed investigation of some of them, absolutely justify the title of this book. The shortcomings of this book are categorized into general and specific ones. The general ones include some problems such as print mistakes and typos, the lack of literature review and the method of referencing and bibliography whereas the specific ones comprise those flaws which appeared in relation to the subject and structure of this book. There are some cases like improper selection of evidence and misreading of them that sometimes have led to false analysis and recognition of rhetorical principles. In this critique, the weak coherence of the book in managing the discussion as well as evidence and categorizing the content has been pointed out, and also its mundane verbosity and unnecessary brevity has been discussed.
