Abstract
Manuscripts include valuable historical and literary information which can be useful for literary researchers.this information and especially old anthologies are powerful sources for identifying forgotten poets and the works of the first period of Persian poets.one of the anthologies remain from the 8th century is anthology of” Yahya tofigh” from Soleimanie library in turkey which has not been corrected and published so far.Howeverthe question is who is the collector of this book?Or if there are newfound couplets of famous and unknown poets? Collector of this anthology is unknown but there is some evidence that shows some similarities between this book and “Ganj pakhsh’ and “Sade elahi’. This similarity and also verses of Sade elahi which exist only in these books suggest that perhaps all three books have been written based on the same book and maybe the collector is Sade elahi ,as well. Careful study of this book enables us to have a more complete correction of the verses of famous poets and their newfound couplets and couplets of unknown poets also seen.
