Abstract Due to the absence of authentic manuscripts of the diwans of some poets, anthologies and collections of poems can be important sources for the correction and re-correction of such diwans. More ancient anthologies typically consist of more genuine and trustworthy records. "Majmue-ye-Lataef-va-Safine-ye-Zaraef" compiled by "Seif-e-Jam-e-Heravai" is one of the most significant anthologies remained from the late eighth and early ninth century AH written in the Indian subcontinent. Although the main focus of this anthology is on rhetorical aspect, "Seif-e-Jam-e-Heravai" has gathered numerous poems from famous and even less known poets; these collected poems can be used to advance and improve literary studies. One of the key usages of this anthology is in retrieval and re-correction of poems of older poets. In this study, performed on Seif-e-Jam-e-Heravai" anthology, 39 newly-found verses from the poets whose poems have already been published are presented. The poets are chronologically as follows: Amir-Moezzi, Nezami-ye-Ganjavi, Zahir-e-Faryabi, Shams-e-Tabasi, Homam-e-Tabrizi, Naser-Beje-ye-Shirazi, Nazaari-ye-Ghohestani, Hasan-e-Kashi, Ebn-e-Yamin, and Obeid-e- Zakani. Additionally, this work presents the corrections of several manuscripts existing in the diwans of several poets; such corrections have been carried out based on the poems found in Majmue-ye-Lataef-va-Safine-ye-Zaraef, emphasizing the importance of such anthologies in the field of manuscript correction.
