Abstract

Manuscripts are a valuable legacy of ancestors whose correct and scientific revision can bring the text closer to the original work and take advantage of the texts of past authors. The manuscript of Matla Al-Saadeyn is a work on the rhetoric of 12th-century poet and writer Sialkoti Mel Varasteh in the Indian subcontinent. One of the features of this work is the author's critical point of view, the lack of imitation and repetition of the contents of earlier rhetoric books. The author of this book also pays particular attention to the poetry of his era, the Indian style poetry, as most of the evidence points to the poetry of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. As more evidence has chosen an example from the poems of poets of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Studying this work can inform us about the status and quality of rhetorical knowledge in the Indian subcontinent. In this article, we introduce the manuscript of Matla Al-Saadeyn. The method of this research is to study, record, and collect information from authentic library sources and its purpose is to introduce one of the valuable subcontinent rhetoric books in the 12th century AH.
