Fundamental studies in textual criticism are related to the name of Academician A.A.Alizadeh. The department “Source study, analysis of written monuments and their publication” was set up in 1958 under The İnstitute of Oriental Studies under the leadership of Acad.A.A.Alizadeh. Researchers of the department explored literary monuments of the East, particularly, they created a new period in the publication of Persian-language monuments. The period saw the publication of research papers-critical texts of medieval authors. Worthy of mentioning is a creative writing of Fazlullah Rashidaddin and his “Jami at-tavari”.

Department researchers translated and published numerous Persian-language medieval texts. This includes Azerbaijani historian Bakr-al-Kutbi al-Ahari’s “Tarihesheyx Uveys”. This work was translated into Azeri and Russian by M.D.Kazymov and V.R.Piriyev on the basis of a single manuscript copy currently kept at a library of Leyden University. The same authors translated two more manuscripts devoted to the historical events of the 14 century, as well as to Azerbaijan and neighboring countries. The point is about medieval historian, geographer and statesman Hamdullah Mustovfi Qazvini’s “Zeyle-tarihi-qozide” and his son Zeyneddin’s “Zeyle-tarihe-qozide”.

The department is also engaged in exploring another Persian-language work by Abdi bey Shirazi’s “Takmilat al-ahbar”.

Three of “Hamsa” texts “Mahzan-ul-asrar”, “Haft peykar” and “Sharafnameh” have been compiled by researchers of the Institute of Oriental Studies.

As it known, Nizami’s “Hamsa” was followed by some hundreds of imitations of poets from different countries in different languages. These include Amir Khosrov Dahlavi, Khaja Kirmani, Alishir Navai, Abdullah Hatifi, Abdurrahman Jami, and Mohammad Fuzuli. Thus, Doctor of Philology T.Magerramov, using eight and more manuscripts of Amir Khosrov’s poems “Majnun va Leyli” and “Matlaul-anvar”, compiled research papers-critical texts and published it.
