Abstract
In terms of style, Monshaat (letters) of Khaghani is one of the complicated and industrial texts in Persian literature. Khaghani had a special style of prose writing, just as in verse, and a full knowledge of various writing methods. This work is of great importance in various aspects such as better understanding of Khaqani's writing style as well as getting acquainted with his environment and time. What has been considered in present study is the contemplation on some of Khaghani's phrases in his Monasaat, corrected by Mohammad Roshan, that are not semantically expressive and the audience may get in to difficulties in reading them. Bad reading and unprincipled copying of the editions are, in some cases, among the factors have reduced the literary value and artistic delicacy of the work. The re-correction of phrases has been accomplished on the base manuscript, and the least on some insignificant manuscripts such as Paris and Sepahsalar that include just a few of the letters. In many reviewed cases, other textual evidences are obtained when the right phrase stands on its right place.
