        A historical manuscript is a national-cultural heritage of a community in which valuable secrets are hidden behind the words and concepts. Semiotics and content analysis technique were developed in late 20th century to identify the meaning of the secrets interwoven with the words in such manuscripts.The present study aims at investigating the historical text “workbook of Marefat Khameneh school” using two approaches namely speech act proposed by John Searle and semiology approach proposed by of jean-Marie klinkenberg. In this regard, a brief description is presented about five speech acts proposed by John Searle and then the concepts of “objective and value norms”, “center-oriented and centrifugal” structure of language, and “geographical, temporal and social” applications of language are explained and the three reactions including silences, hypercorrection and compensation are discussed to determine security rate in the relation between common norms and the norm of the language of interest. Afterward, the phrases written in the workbook were investigated using both approaches and it was revealed that speech act of the text is declarative, commisive, and directive; respectively and there is large gap and lack of security between the common norms and value norms embedded in the workbook Manuscript profile
