The present article criticizes the "descriptive glossary of inlay" by Nasrin Tabatabai with a critical descriptive approach. The book was written in 2003. In this regard, the formal and structural aspects of the book in terms of observing the principles of scientific writing as well as content in terms of the importance of the content and what it is have been studied. In a situation where library studies on inlay are few and with ambiguities, the writing of sources, although with shortcomings, have spiritual values for inlaying. In this book, the author has been able to collect and describe the specialized vocabulary of inlay for the first time, which is valuable and admirable; but at the same time, there are shortcomings in the presentation method, , insufficient and incomplete descriptions in the definitions of specialized words and terms, and the lack of some necessary words. Formally, in terms of writing style, citation system, non-Iranianization of some words, etc. can be seen in the book. Also, in terms of content, there are problems such as the lack of a precise demarcation between the definitions of some entries, the presentation of some short and incomplete definitions, the lack of some necessary words, the lack of proper references and the lack of a list. This research, in addition to explaining the deficiency, has also tried to redefine the words.

This study critically examines the article "Investigation of the Establishment and Decline of Āl-Shomleh Local Government (550-591 AH) In Seljuk Khuzestan" from both positive and negative perspectives. By adopting the title of "Atabak" or "Great Atabak", the dynasty of Shumleh established a local government in important and strategic areas of west and southwestern Iran (between the territories of the Seljuq sultans and the Abbasid caliphate). It is of special importance to know this less famous dynasty. The article under review, which was introduced as the first independent research work, was a kind of the beginning of a new trend in research in this field. The findings of this research show that one of the advantages of the article under review is the importance of the subject and the effort to process the matter differently, but one can also see some formal and methodological shortcomings such as incorrect references, inconsistencies in title and content, inattention to the background of the research, neglect of some main sources, inattention to the criticism and validation of traditions, use of definitive and absolute propositions, be weak in arguments and inferences, and have errors in identifying the members of the Shumleh family.

The book "Poets of Khorasan Literary Field" is one of the literary excerpts written by Dr. Nasrollah Emami for a course of the same name in the undergraduate course of Persian literature. Given the author's background in academic excerpts, the reader expects a well-groomed book to increase students' enthusiasm for further study of one of the most important areas of Persian poetry, but this expectation is not met. In the present article, the most significant drawbacks of the mentioned book include: not so suitable notes for poems, incomplete selection of poems, incorrect explanations for some verses, changing the tastes of words from poems without any explanation about them, deleting some of the sources referred to in the book description, inadequate, inaccurate or unnecessary description, and editorial and writing flaws have been examined. By presenting these problems, the author hopes that the authors of academic literary excerpts will pay more attention to their writings and dress up the book from the mentioned problems in the subsequent editions.

Divan of Kaqani has been famous among researchers and litterateurs for being difficult and rare since long ago; hence it has been noticed more by researchers and exegetes with respect to other classic Persian poets’ literature. Also, numerous exegeses have been written to the entire divan or to a portion of it. One of those exegeses interpreting a portion of this divan is a book named “ATASH ANDAR CHANG”. This book is written by Mahdi Mahouzi and is published by Zavvar publications in 340 pages. In this article, we are going to criticize this book in a scientific and critical way. Moreover, we will discuss subjects such as the haste in preparing and publishing this book, incorrect extracting, the introduction of irrelevant subjects, and the use of others’ works without making reference to them. In conclusion, we get the result that the book under debate is one of the weak and unscientific works and it is necessary to take action to amend the mentioned items.

"Transcendental Style in Cinema, Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer" by Paul Schrader, the famous American critic, writer, and director, is one of the few books that explores the relationship between cinema, religion, and related elements beyond various fields such as Semiotics. This book was translated in 2003 by Mohammad Gozarabadi in Iran. The second edition of the book that was published in 2018 included the introduction of slow cinema and Schrader's revision of some of the concepts of this style. The importance of this book could be seen in the method of studying and confronting religion and its elements. Using profound philosophical concepts and Christian background, Schrader establishes stylistic stages in which the most important movies could be read and analyzed through them. This style aims to discover the state in which the transcendental and spiritual manner is expressed in cinema. Therefore, firstly the book and the author are introduced and then by considering both editions, all the concepts in the book are discussed and finally the book is criticized from different aspects. The results will demonstrate that the main criticisms on this book can be seen in the levels of method and content.

Futures studies is a strategy and a proactive approach to manage, control, and deal with uncertainty to achieve a desirable future. Trying to visualize the future and eliminate undesirable scenarios are considered as smart approaches, so many documents, books and articles have been written in this regard. The book Megachange, The World in 2050 is one of these works that examines and illustrates the long-term future of the world in four main areas: social, political, economic, and science and technology. The present article, while reviewing the book based on the criteria of the critical research textbook and humanities programs, has tried to examine the validity of the present work in terms of method and approach. According to the evaluation, this work has a moderate quality and in order to improve the quality, it is necessary to seriously review the translation of the book. Since it has been about a decade since the book was published, the practical accuracy of its claims should be checked.

Given that the book The History of Iranian Studies in Russia is one of the most recent works in the field of Iranian studies in Russia, the author was expected to critique the achievements of Russian Iranologists with an analytical approach; especially for the fact that, during the communist era, the Russians attached special importance to Iranian studies in line with the plans and policies of the ruling Soviet party. Because in the Soviet period, Iranian studies were based on the course of historical one-line theory and the proof of historical determinism. These works had a great impact on the intellectual, political, and social atmosphere of Iran in recent decades. As a result, the critique of the Russians' record in this field could have opened new perspectives in the field of Iranian studies (Iranology), while the book under review provides a brief and hasty record of the trend of Iranology in the three-hundred-year history of this science in Russia. One of the most important reasons for the dispersion of the book’s contents was to choose a general title for the present study. So, the indicators studied by the author cover a wide range of topics and contents in the field of Iranian studies in Russia. The indicators studied in the present book should be included in the scope of encyclopedia research. The present article tries to critique and analyze the topics and indicators of the present book by the method of content analysis and scientific critique.

Selection of excerpts from ancient texts and explanation of their difficulties in the form of academic excerpts for teaching in the field of Persian language and literature is one of the works that has increased in recent years. Accurately selecting parts of texts and explaining their difficulties can help students better understand ancient texts and of course, the preparation of such books requires a great deal of expertise and a great deal of care and patience. Shahnameh's book (1) Shahriyar Namvarnameh published by Samt Publications is the result of the attention of prominent Shahnameh scholar Sajjad Aydenlo who has provided a well-deserved book for students. Despite the many benefits of this book including selecting three stories from the Shahnameh instead of one, arranging the contents of the book in a decent volume for one semester, designing important topics related to Ferdowsi and Shahnameh based on the latest Shahnameh researches and..., there are some shortcomings in its compilation that have been addressed in the present article. These deficiencies include the shortcomings of choosing the verses for the excerpts of the stories, the failures to explain and explain the verses, and the shortcomings of the version used in the excerpts, and the lack of explanation about them. The author hopes that by revising these shortcomings, this valuable book will become more disciplined.

The complete poetical work of Khaghani (Khaghani’s Divan) is one of the worthy works of Persian literature that is famous for being difficult to obtain and understand. Thus, Khaghani's Divan has been less favored by commentators than other Divans of Persian poetry. In the meantime, the felicity and excerpts have impeded Khaghani's Divan as well, and several excerpts from Khaghani's odes (qasidas) have been described and published. One of these works is a book entitled " Cities' Reciter of Elegies ", written by Mohammad Reza Barzegar Khaleghi and Mohammad Hussein Mohammadi and published by Zovvar Publications in 224 pages. The present paper reviews this work and also points to some of the falsehoods and inaccuracies that have been attributed to it. Problems that will be discussed in detail include using the works of others without citing them, silence against difficult and problematic Khaghani’s verses, misinterpretations of certain verses, confusing sources, many typographical errors, and omitting some aspects of Khaghani’s poetry.

Long after the creation of the first Persian novels and short stories, research works were created in connection with these works of fiction. In this study, the method of historiography of the first history of fiction (ie “The History and Evolution of Modern Iranian Literature and The Founders of Modern Persian Prose”) that have been published abroad at the same time has been investigated. In this article, with a descriptive-analytical approach and based on the components that the authors of this research have considered for the type of literary history, the discourse of these two works has been studied. The results show that Alavi and Kamshad studied literary works without being influenced by the ideology of the government of the time and with the aim of finding two-way links between literature and current political events. Of course, they have their drawbacks; structural weaknesses in the arrangement of materials, not addressing the literary style of works and not analyzing the literary and artistic aspects of literary works, using second- and third-degree sources, basing on selections of previous critical works are among these weaknesses, often due to distance from institutional contexts and contexts are related to literary works, which has caused significant damage to these two histories of literature.

The book “Investigation of Sassanid Steel Utensils from a Symbolic Viewpoint” was published by Neda Akhavan Aghdam in 1396 in the Academy of Art Publications. Besides the lack of a coherent order for the analysis of motifs, this book has also some form and content shortcomings. The present study, based on the library method, has critically criticized the book and evaluated its form and scientific content. In this regard, the deficiencies and critical comments of each of the topics are expressed below. Referring to the shortcomings aims to understand the concepts and to explain the symbolic aspects of motifs in Sasanian metal containers which are the results of this paper.

The party is one of the important components that has an important place in democratic systems. In fact, the party is the link between the practice of governance and the standards of governance. Davood Farihi in his book Jurisprudence and Party Governance tries to reconcile political jurisprudence with the government. It is related to the emergence of parliament and the concept of law in the contemporary era and explains the position of parties in the Islamic political system. The results of Farihi’s efforts show that the “party issue” in political jurisprudence is a logical extension of jurisprudence’s confrontation with the modern government. It is jurisprudential “but the fact is that the party in Iran is not jurisprudential and in this article, we criticize “the issue of the party in Iran is jurisprudential” in a descriptive and analytical way and based on library studies.

Semiotics is one of the branches of modern literary criticism in the twentieth century that examines the signs and the relationships between them in literary texts and their function in conveying the message between the author and the reader. The book Aliat al - Tawil al - Sima'iyya by Musa Rabbabiyah is one of the works that tries to achieve the following subtle and profound layers of textual construction by passing through some semiotic tools and passing through the superstructure of the text. In the light of the importance of the issue, the present article tries to explain the weaknesses and shortcomings of the desired work in a descriptive - analytical way and with a content critique approach, while examining and stating some of the strengths of this book. The results of the study indicate that this work has been very successful in the first three chapters in the field of metaphor and cryptography as two tools of semiotics and has provided good analyzes by selecting appropriate poetic examples. But, the book’s inconsistency with the content and not directly addressing all semiotic tricks, including paradox, mask, arithmetic, norm-breaking, myth, lack of balance between chapters, and a brief reference to the critique of semiotics in the novel one of the most important shortcomings of this book.

The great tendency of contemporary Arab fiction literature critics to new approaches of Western criticism, especially in the last decade of the twentieth century and concerns about the severance of their relationship with the old Arabic critique and the urgent need of Arab libraries for works on criticism of critiques, made the Syrian Abu Heif to write the book “New Criticism of Story, Novel and Narrative in Arabic Literature”. This research examined Abu Heif’s criticism method based on two methods of reading the work and descriptive-analytical approach and has reached the following results: The way the eight chapters of the book are presented in a very eloquent pen, illustrates that it has had a pre-determined engineering and the content topics have a logical and acceptable sequence. The data and examples in this book are vast; and in fact, Abu Heif has turned his book into an encyclopedia. Despite the fact that Abu Heif did not consider specific criticism criteria to criticize other critique works, and this is one of the main drawbacks of the book, his analysis of different critique works has a very solid base and is convincing for the reader. Citing of almost 500 works by critics from different Arab countries could be a strong reason for his lack of prejudice in using critical evidence.

Criticism of books and authors’ works is aimed at creating dynamics in the academic, literary, and academic circles and can, if neutral and constructive, lead to progress, dialogue between experts, and improved efficiency. In the field of academic books, this can also lead to deficiencies and complete writing of works. The Book of French Poetry by the Honorable Shahnaz Shahin and Mahvash Ghavimi, published by the University Academic Press, has been published in 2000 and has been reviewed and edited in 2004. Designed with an academic audience to teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses in French literature, the book has some drawbacks, despite its clear writing. The purpose of this paper is to examine the writing and presentation of this book’s material and to address some of the shortcomings, mainly in the form of the arrangement of contents within the book’s chapters, the citation system, and the examples presented from a formal point of view. The content commentary refers to the overemphasis on French poetic form and the lack of a comprehensive introduction of French poets and their influential works.

Liberals claim that they do not impose any restrictions on the critique of ideas and institutions because any restriction means restricting freedom of expression as one of the most important aspects of freedom. Accordingly, in liberal discourse, insults to divine prophets are defended as an example of freedom of expression. The central theme of the book “Is Criticism Secular?” is related to the above discussion. This book contains articles written by Talal al-Assad and Saba Mahmoud and criticizes the liberal view of criticism and its relation to freedom of expression. This article examines and criticizes these views. Both Assad and Saba Mahmoud tried to reject the “dual rational argument” that puts Christianity, secularism, rationality, tolerance, and freedom on one side, and Islam, fundamentalism, obedience, bigotry, and limitation on the other side. Assad emphasizes the violation cases that exist in the functioning and existing laws of modern societies. However, he should have taken a critical analytical approach to the perfectionism inherent in the views of Western thinkers, especially in liberal discourse, as a violation of the moral neutrality they claim. Saba Mahmoud rejects the claim of separation of religion from politics by emphasizing modern discourse and underlines the bias of the Western critical tradition. His discussion complements the issues that Talal al-Assad seeks.

Crafts are a familiar and tangible thing in everyday life, so it would be obvious without any need to know and try to understand them. The book “Introduction to Iranian Crafts Workshops” was compiled by Fariba Mostafavi in Mehr Nowruz Publications in 2016. Although the book is generally a collection of invaluable high-quality illustrations to introduce to some handicraft workshops, like any scholarly work, it has some formative and content deficiencies that have been attempted to criticize it critically. This research has explained the relevance of the library to some non-scientific propositions that mislead the reader (artists) and move from one research to another. In this regard, the following shortcomings and critical comments will be expressed in each of the following issues.

So far, many books have been written about the poems and thoughts of Moulana Jalal Al-Din. Scholars and researchers have studied his books from different perspectives. One of the books published in this area is entitled “Moulana and Some Stories from Masnavi” by Sirous Shamisa. This study is a criticism of the book “Moulana and Some Stories from Masnavi” based on the mystic tradition of Moulana’s method. In the sections entitled “the biography of the followers of Moulana’s method”, “issues on mystic topics”, and “rhetorical issues”, “issues on interpretation, allegories and stories” and “issues on the thoughts of Moulana and the modern man”, the authors have analyzed and investigated the book and used the ideas of other researchers in the field in order to explain the issues better. This book has been written innovatively and has opened new doors to the studies of Moulana using modern modes in humanities. Despite all the positive points, some points that the book author has mentioned on the biography of Moulana, as well as the mystic topics, are in contradiction with the main sources of research on Moulana, the mystic tradition of Moulavi, and the ideas of other researchers in the field.

In Schopenhauer’s Philosophy, in addition to expressing Schopenhauer’s views and ideas, Magee devotes a chapter to addressing the misunderstanding of the concept of “will” and “noumenon” in Schopenhauer’s philosophy. In this article, we decided to review and criticize this book written by Bryan Magee and translated by Reza Vali Yari. So, first, we briefly introduce the book. After a critical review of the book, we came to the conclusion that the English philosopher Bryan Magee, an expert and exponent of Schopenhauer’s work, was able to present a book that was easy to understand, fluent, complete, and yet expert on Schopenhauer’s ideas and theories. In addition, he has shown the influence that Schopenhauer has had on philosophers, thinkers, and artists. The translator, who is an expert in translating Schopenhauer’s work, has been able to provide a plausible, fluent, and acceptable translation of this book; of course, there is little criticism of the author in terms of content and the quality of translation that we have mentioned and can be considered in the next edition of the book. There are also many editing problems in the translation of this book that have made editing necessary in subsequent editions.

The aim of this article is to critically review the content and form of a book on Islamic Art (collection of essays and lectures). This book is one of the basic books on Islamic art discourse with different approaches. The authors of this book have sought to study the nature of Islamic art, through theoretical discussions in the context of historiographical, jurisprudential, mystical, sociological, semiotic, and hermeneutic attitudes. The main issue of this paper is to raise the fundamental question of how mystical and judgmental approaches to traditionalist discourse as well as historical approaches to descriptive discourse can analyze and interpret Islamic art and thus open the door to understanding and understanding the complexities of Islamic art discourse. We reveal the formation. The importance and critical importance of a critical look at Islamic art textbooks for a more detailed analysis as well as explaining the mechanisms and characteristics of the various approaches to Islamic art discourse analysis seem significant. For this reason, it is necessary to demonstrate the importance of the book in question by revealing its analytical functions aimed at guiding audiences and students concerned with Islamic art studies.
