Abstract

The article presents an analysis of thirteen volumes of the “Collection of Oriental Manuscripts of Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences” for the presence of manuscripts related to the activities of the sheikhs the founders of the Yasawiya and Naqshbandiya tariqats, their students and followers, as well as the treatises of al-Ghazali and al-Arabi, as especially revered among the Tatar scientists of the Middle Ages. The relevance of the search for Sufi sources of the period of the 16th – 19th centuries is due to the need to deepen knowledge about the Tatar Sufi culture of this period of history. The description of the manuscripts in the “Collections” is carried out according to the dates of the copying of the treatises, which is an indirect fact of interest in them in the described period.
