Abstract
Prior to the establishment of modern educational systems in Iran, the educational framework during the Qajar era was centered on maktab-khaneh or maktab (traditional schools). This system had its own distinct rituals, customs, and objectives. Children in maktab used specific educational resources for literacy, most of which were lithographed texts.Mohammad Hadi Mohammadi and Zohreh Qayini in the third volume of The History of Iranian Children’s Literature (covering the Constitutional era), have cited and analyzed some of these texts. Similarly, Hassan Zolfaghari and Mahboubeh Heydari, in their comprehensive three-volume work Iranian Maktabkhaneh Literature, have extensively explored maktab literature. Before presenting each text, they provide an introduction to the text, its manuscripts, and printed editions, followed by the complete text. Additionally, they have corrected numerous errors found in lithographed editions, noting the incorrect forms in footnotes with the phrase “as in the original.”Despite these efforts, many errors persist in maktab texts, necessitating further revision. In this article, the author addresses and corrects some of the errors in the first volume of Iranian Maktabkhaneh Literature, focusing specifically on poetic texts.
