Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of the literary heritage of the great poet Alisher Navoi, a great representative of our classical literature, remains today one of the most pressing problems in the field of textual studies. For more than five hundred years, the poet’s works have captivated people with their charm. While people have read these works with great enthusiasm since they were written, happy writers write them from the poet’s life to the beginning of the last century. However, research shows that scribes of a work may inadvertently make mistakes in the text or add some words or phrases to it. One of the main tasks in the field of textology is the restoration of the original author’s text. Because of a comparative analysis of the manuscripts, the restoration of the text of the work is quite accessible. In the article there is a speech on the creation of a scientific-critical text of one of the works of the great thinker Alisher Navoi “Khamsat al-Mutahayyirin”. Some examples of textual differences are reflected by a comparative analysis of six authoritative manuscripts of “Khamsat al-Mutahayirin”.

Alisher Navoi, it is said that the Museum has a photocopy of this “Kulliat”. When we were acquainted with this photocopy, it was discovered that, due to unclear circumstances, pages 291a and 298b were missing. To compensate for this shortcoming, with the help of the staff of the National Library of France, the lost pages were reached.
