The subject of editing textbooks is a scientific perspective that can be pathologic and it is the title of this article. According to the title of the article, the purpose of this essay is the expression of some problems and shortcomings in the field of editing Persian textbooks of the High school as a statistical society. It is in structure, deductive reasoning, and the evidence has been used by the statistical sample method. Each year, the group of educational books reviews these books generally or partially, the exact review of the editorial team in the field of editing the textbooks is also highly felt. Therefore, some of the relevant issues were mentioned in three areas of editing, namely linguistic, content, and technical. We discussed the important issues which needed to be addressed by the editor in these books. The result of this research suggests that among the three editing areas mentioned in the editing books, most of the drawbacks are in the “technical editing” and these books need a comprehensive overview in this particular editorial area.

The book The Secret of Khaghani’s Poetry is a new research work in the field of Khaghani, which is considered a valuable work due to its scientific method, aesthetic view, aristocracy and contemplation of the author. This book consists of four volumes, two of which have been published so far. In this article, we have introduced and reviewed the first volume. At the beginning of the article, we have introduced the different sections of the book and its content, then we have pointed out its scientific and aesthetic values. In the review section, we have identified the mistakes or shortcomings of the book under the two general headings of typographical and editing errors, in detail and by mentioning the page. One of the main types of typographical and editing problems is the frequent use of verbal accents and excessive markup. In the content flaws and shortcomings, some explanations and selection of replacement versions have been criticized. Our aim in this article is to emphasize the importance of this book in Khaghani studies and to eliminate its shortcomings in future editions.

Maulana’s Divan, alongside the Masnavi, has, for centuries, been a favorite book with circles of “Sama’,” people of taste and mysticism, and lovers of sonnets. The first critical edition of the book, edited by Foruzanfar, was published by University of Tehran in ten volumes, from 1957 to 1965. All following editions of the book have been prepared, publically or in private, according to Foruzanfar’s edition. Some editions carry the names of particular authors on them, while some others bear just the publishers’ names. Alongside these publications, the only reliable editions are those prepared by Professor Sobhani and published by Ghatreh Publications in 2002. The edition includes notes and explanations. The Foruzanfar’sedition, with all its advantages, had its critics, too. One of them was Professor Shafi’i Kadkani who, in his prominent Introduction to his Selections from Maulana’s Divan, suggested the need for another critical edition of the book. Kadkani’s last work on Mowlana’s Divan consisted of two volumes, published in 2009. The expectation was that the selection would be based on a new attitude towards the manuscripts of the text, but apart from a few corrections, the study is entirely based on the Foruzanfar’s edition. This paper deals with the quality of the Foruzanfar’s edition, the editions published before and after it, and Kadkani’s exhaustive edition, from a manuscriptological and editorial skills perspectives.
