Abstract

Fasih Khafi (777-845AH) wrote the Mojmal Fasihi book in the ninth centuryAH, often each work is somehow related to works before and after it. Knowing source of a work helps to know it better. One way to understand the content, structure and position of a work is to understand extent and how it relates to works before it. Transtextuality is a theory that deals with all kinds of relationships between texts. In many cases, Fasih Khafafi has omitted source in order to avoid prolonging speech. For example narrations of Scaffi's death and Makan Kakoi's rebellion which have been narrated in events of 386AH. research question is to find out source of Khafi in these two anecdotes and prove it. By contemplating two books of the Chahar Maghale and Mojmal Fasihi and examining and comparing two in terms of intertextuality similarities, it was determined that three anecdotes of the Chahar Maghale are also mentioned in Mojmal Fasihi. Existence of common historical errors, similar phrases and common details between two narrations of Mojmal Fasihi in mentioning events of 386AH, and first and second anecdotes of first Chahar Maghale article, as well as the paratextuality of Khayyam's prophecy in Mojmal Fasihi with seventh anecdote The third of the Chahar Maghale proves that Chahar Maghale written in the sixth centuryAH by Nezami Aroozi are source of Fasih Khafi in writing narrations that he mentions about events of 386AH about Scafi and Makan.
