Thus, 77.88 percent of the elements in RDA correspond with the elements used in cataloguing of Astan Quds Razavi and only 12.12 percent does not correspond with them, which demonstrates a near relationship between the elements and rules related to cataloguing of manuscripts in Astan Quds Razavi and RDA. Moreover, out of 46 elements exist in cataloguing the manuscripts of Astan Quds Razavi, 63 percent is corresponded that not corresponded97.30 percent of this 37 percent mismatch is related to codicology, which proves that RDA has been weaker than the rules of Astan Quds Razavi to clarify the special features of the manuscripts.
