نقد تصحيح محمد روشن بر شرح التعرف با توجه به قواعد ويرايش

Abstract Sharḥ al-Taʿarruf li-Madhhab al-Taṣawwuf is a work by Mastamlī Bukhārī. As the earliest extant Persian prose text on Sufism from the fifth century AH, it occupies a distinctive place in the history of both Sufism an‎d the Persian language. Written in a straightforward style an‎d fluent prose, the book serves as a commentary on Abū Bakr Kalābādhī’s concise treatise al-Taʿarruf. In addition to introducing theological schools an‎d presenting the views of Sufi masters, Mastamlī reflects ascetic mysticism an‎d an Ashʿarite orientation in his exposition of religious concepts. This work was critically edited by Muḥammad Rowshan between 1984 an‎d 1987 an‎d published in five volumes. The present study focuses on the third volume of Sharḥ al-Taʿarruf an‎d applies the principles of technical editing. The findings indicate that, despite the editor’s valuable efforts in reviving one of the earliest Persian mystical texts, the published version exhibits editorial shortcomings that hinder the precise transmission of meaning an‎d the ease of comprehension for readers. An examination of punctuation revealed that only 10 out of the 18 marks listed in Zolfaghari’s manual were employed in the text, an‎d even those were used inconsistently. Furthermore, in areas such as Persian orthography, spacing, spelling conventions, diacritical marks, an‎d the application of hamza, numerous irregularities an‎d deviations from the stan‎dard orthographic rules were observed. These deficiencies not only lead to inaccurate readings but also, in some cases, create semantic ambiguity. This study demonstrates that the revival of classical texts cannot be achieved solely through textual criticism; rather, it requires precise, coherent, an‎d scientifically grounded editing so that such works may regain their rightful place in contemporary scholarly discourse.
