【Summary】

Miʿyār al-Ashʿār is a major work on Persian and Arabic prosody and rhyme composed by Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī, distinguished by its refined prose, systematic organization, and methodological clarity. The treatise occupies an important position in the history of Persian literary theory and metrics.

The present critical edition is based primarily on a manuscript preserved in the Ahmed III Library in Istanbul, dated 702 AH, which was carefully collated with a copy read directly to the author. Accompanying the main text is Mīzān al-Afkār, an extensive commentary written by Muḥammad Saʿdallāh Muftī Murādābādī, a prominent Indian scholar of the 13th century AH.

This commentary provides a detailed explanation of the technical difficulties and conceptual ambiguities of Miʿyār al-Ashʿār while preserving the full original text. First printed in India in 1263 AH, Mīzān al-Afkār is here presented in a newly revised edition alongside Ṭūsī’s original treatise, offering scholars a complete and authoritative resource on classical Persian prosody.
