It has been a long time since the first edition of Farokhi Sistani’s Diwan. Though its first edition, considering the limitations in the facilities available at that time as well as the limited number of manuscripts found up to then, was of high importance, there are a large number of stiches in Dabir Siaaghi’s edition which do not yield to an optimal meaning due to his method of edification and also his not having at hand many of the manuscripts now at disposal. We have access to more than 70 manuscripts of which 10 more significant ones were selected and finally 6 manuscripts were singled out as more significant on the basis of which our edition was based. One manuscript was set as the relative basic one. In order to prepare the most optimal edition, we compared all the manuscripts available and finally made a more exact edition. In this article, we are to bring forth some of the mistakes, misreading, mis-selections and also wrong accounts in Farokhi’s Diwan. Accordingly, our proposed accounts are given in a way that pave the way for achieving a better edition.
