Abstract
The biography of Amir Pazvari, the most famous vernacular poet of Mazandaran, is accompanied by many speculations due to the lack of documents in history and literature, and the attribution of collected Amiris to Amir Pazvari is also debatable. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a different representation of this vernacular poet and his poems by examining the studies conducted on Amir Pazvari and Amiri. Criticism and analysis in various studies show that due to the vagueness of the poet's life, the uncertainty of the time and place of his death, and the doubts about the accuracy or inaccuracy of the attribution to Pazvar, the identity of the poet who became famous as Pazvari should be viewed doubtfully. Since there is no historical document showing Amir to be from Pazvar, the last name Pazwari was replaced with Mazandarani due to laxity and negligence. Also, in the oldest and most detailed version found, there is no famous Amiri to be cited as a representation of the poet's origin in Pazvar. The Amiris collected in Kanzalasarar Mazandarani, which was later published under the name "Amir Pazvari Divan", are not composed by Amir Pazvari himself. The existence of poems by other poets with reference to Mazandarani's Kanzalasarar, the study of Amiri's stylistics, especially the contrast between the antiquity and the novelty of using verbs and words, the disagreement of researchers on the rhythm and format, as well as the difference in the number of Amiri's published, confirm this idea.
