Abstract

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.
