MS. 1075 Tafsir of the Cairene Dar-al-Kutub has been studied from different aspects such as: features of Isnad and Matn, its relation to different ways of transmission in the later tafsirs for example Jami' al-bayan, oral or written transmission, and the possibility of reconstruction the original tafsir of Mujahid. Stauth, Leemhuis, Wansbrough and Versteegh have dealt with all or some of these issues in different works in detail or briefly. In this article these orientalist’s views have been explained and evaluated. The results of the research show that the point of departure for all Western studies in this regard is Sezgin's theory that the authors of narrative works used written sources and also Sezgin’s method to single out the sources of a collector and to reconstruct the early lost works using quotations in later narrative works and his references to this manuscript and transmissions from Mujahid found in al-Tabari's Tafsir. This manuscript is most relateded with I'sa ibn Maymun transmission and indeed this manuscript is not one of the sources of the Jami' al-bayan and is not an extraction from Jami' al-bayan.
