The free flaunt of translator’s language and applying rewriting elements is one of the most important reasons for the emergence of authorship translation approach in Persian literature and classic Arabic. In this approach, just like free and communicative method, translators avoid equal, equivalent, and parrot-like translation which is mostly inexpressive and incomprehensible. Rewriting approach was widely used in old Persian translation from Arabic because of not regarding rules and scientific standards of translation and idealistic goals. And relaying on rewriting issue and its mechanisms the translator would deal with lots of changes in translated texts compared to the originial without considering custody. The present research tries to study the concept and rewriting aspects in four episodes of Bal’ami’s history (the killing of Siavash, the making of Kavous’s Palace, Kavous’s ascending to heaven, abandoning sovereignity by Kay Khosrow) considering André Lefevere’s rewriting discussion in order to achieve aspects and functions of rewriting approach in Bal’ami’s translation. The results indicate one of the reasons of Bal’ami’s translation durability, which is known as the translator not the writer, is due to the successive aspects of rewriting concept. And the translator has created a rather different work than Tabari’s by using techniques uncluding adaptation, structural adjustments, delete and compression, and sometimes verbiage.

Jean-Rene Ladmiral, a well-known French theorist, considers components to face translation problems which should be announced and respected by the translator. This target-oriented theorist believes that limiting translation to simple encoding is not correct and paraphrasing should accompany translation. In this case, the translator will produce meaning or new creation. The following query by the use of descriptive-analytical method tries to review the translation of Tasouji from basic story of "Thousand and One Nights" according to the applicable theory of Ladmiral that will evaluate translator's performance in the translation of source text. By accepting this principle that the most suitable method for translating the book of "Thousand and One Nights" is target-oriented and free one that pays attention to the meaning and sense rather than vocabularies and phrases, Writers of this article consider Ladmiral theory as the most congruous theory with this principle. Therefore, they have used Ladmiral nominated components as the basic standard to review and evaluate Strengths and weaknesses of Tasouji Translation. The result of the study indicates that Tasouji translation has considerable alignment with Ladmiral theory and translator could create beautiful artwork which is in accordance with the cultural context of target language while considering recreation and producing sense as well.
