Abstract

Al-Sâmi fi al-Asâmi is one of the important and authentic Arabic-to-Persian dictionaries, and has been used by many of the subsequent lexicographers. In this dictionary the subjects are first classified and then divided to some chapters. The author has gathered some Arabic words in each chapter and has given their Persian equals. In this article the dialectal and old words of this dictionary are mentioned together with their meanings and sometimes their roots, then some words are mentioned from other old texts that confirm the meaning of these words. Some of these words have been mentioned in Zail-e Farhanghâ-ye Fârsi, before this, but their meanings have not been explained.
