Abstract
Every text is linked to the mind of the audience and the world by paratextualites. Nafahat-ol-Ons is among Jami's prose works which has the ability to be surveyed from paratextual point of view. In this research, Nafahat-ol-On’s paratextualities were identified and divided into two categories according to the Genette's theory. The outer and inner elements of paratextuality in Nafahat-ol-Ons have been formed proportionally and fit in the main text. Each of these paratextualities deeps down the audience's understanding and realizing on the one hand, and on the other hand, guide the audience how to use this work. Different people have created these elements, including author, scriber, publisher, proofreader and other critics, researchers and writers among whom author and proofreader have a great role in text readings of this book.

Introduction
Paratextuality is a type of transtextuality, which Gérard Genette has divided into two categories, internal and external. Regarding the importance of paratextualites, it can be said that components such as title, introduction, preface, positive and negative content of critics and researchers about the text or even publisher and its credibility are among the paratextualites that creates an expectation horizon in the reader. Nafahat-ol-Ons is one of the prose works of Abd al-Rahman Jami in Persian, which has the ability to be studied paratextually. Identifying and analyzing these thresholds can pave the way for reading the text.
Research methods
This article is descriptive-analytical and is based on content analysis in the framework of Gérard Genette's theory of paratextuality. On the basis of this theory, the paratextualities in Jami's Nafahat-ol-Ons were identified and recorded. Then they were divided into two categories, internal and external, and their subspecies. Then the role of each of these paratextual elements was investigated in receiving the text of this book.
Aims
Paratextualities are formed inside and outside Jami's Nafahat ol-ons whose discovery and investigation is the aim of the present research. This article, after identifying and introducing the internal and external paratextualites of Jami's Nafahat ol-ons, explains their role in reading the text of this great literary work. For example, this research tries to shed light on the role of the author, proofreader, scriber, publisher, researchers and critics since the book has been written in easier understanding of the audience of the text.
Findings and Conclusion
The present study came to the conclusion that each of these paratextualities, by providing information about the original text, on the one hand, deepens the audience's understanding, and on the other hand, they guide the audience in how to use this work.
These paratextualities were divided into two categories, external and internal. The internal paratextualities of this work, which are attached to the focal text, have been formed by the author, scriber, publisher and proofreader. In the meantime, Jami, as a skilled and experienced author, has tried to prepare the introduction of the book, so that this section has all the components of a research project proposal. Also, the title of this work with a virtual expression and the titles of the sections are appropriate to its content, and it clearly represents the literary type of this book.The proofreader of this work, in the role of mediator between the manuscripts of the previous periods and the modern audience, has provided the readers with a revised text and the required information.
The living conditions and social-political characteristics of the author's era can also be mentioned as the external paratextualities of this work that have been influential in the formation of this book by the author. Other external paratextualities have been created by people other than the author, all of whom have provided more connection to the text and its critique and promotion and they are presented in various contexts such as books, manuscripts, translations, transcriptions, summaries and excerpts, dissertations, articles, conferences, interviews each of which illustrates an aspect of this work. Not all the paratextualities in this book is equally important.
