Abstract

The Republic of Bashkortostan can be considered one of the few subjects of the Russian Federation where Arabographic manuscripts were brought to, copied and written in large numbers by local authors and scribes. At the moment, more than 5,000 copies of Arabographic sources of var-ious subjects and chronology are deposited in various institutions of the republic. This article is de-voted to the comprehension and analysis of the book manuscript heritage of the Muslim peoples of the Southern Urals in the form of Arabographic historical sources mostly related to religious scienc-es. The object of the research are Arabographic manuscripts thematically related to the sections of the Qur’anic sciences and deposited in two academic institutions of Ufa: 1) the Department of Man-uscripts and Rare Editions of Ahmet-Zaki Walidi National Library of the Republic of Bashkortostan (ORRI NB RB). 2) the Department of Rare Books at the Academic Library of the Ufa Federal Re-search Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ORC NB UFIC RAS). As a result of the research of these funds, the most widespread and significant works on Qur’anic studies that have played a certain role in the enlightenment and formation of religious consciousness among the Muslim peo-ples of the Republic of Bashkortostan have been identified. In general, research in this area allows to expand the source base on the history of Islam in Russia.
