Abstract

Currently, an increasing number of digitized arabic-alphabet documents are being introduced into scientific circulation. This requires an understanding of their relationship to physical primary sources, an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the original text for orientalists, its electronic image and an analog copy. The preliminary study of the document at the place of its permanent storage continues with its thorough research, translation, commenting and preparation for publication in the specialist’s office, where he works not with the original document’s primary circulation, but with its copy - the subject of secondary circulation. The words document, original, copy and some others are not synonyms in their terminological meaning and therefore need to differentiate their use. The article uses the authors own and other Ufa researcher’s publications, based on the originals of Arabic alphabet documents or their digital copies, as well as containing facsimiles of some unique ones. One should see the difference between the original document, its electronic form and its external existence in the form of an analog copy. Having cited successful examples of the analysis, translation and publication of Arabicalphabet documents and the production of their electronic images, the authors, based on their own experience, list both the advantages and disadvantages of various types of work with analog copies of documents.
