With a decree from the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People\u2019s Commissars of Tojikiston, the founding of the book chamber, which occurred officially on August 11, 1937[even though it was organized in December 1936], inaugurated the birth of national bibliographic\u00a0 publications in Tojikiston.\u00a0 During the 1937 \u2013 1958 period, the Book Chamber of Tojikiston started and continued the following national bibliographic publications in varying frequency: Knizhnaia letopis\u2019<\/strong><\/em> [for 1937-1938 period] (published in 1939, includes Tojik\u012b and Russian titles);\u00a0 Letopis\u2019 gazetnykh state\u01d0<\/strong> [for 1939] (published in 1940); Letopisi maqola\u1e23oi gazetav\u012b<\/strong><\/em> = Letopis\u2019 gazetnykh state\u01d0<\/strong><\/em> (1939-1949); Letopisi matbuoti Tojikiston<\/em><\/strong> = Letopis\u2019 pechati Tadzhikistana<\/em><\/strong> [1941: No. 1 (January), 35 pages; No. 2 (February), 28 pages; monographs, articles from journals, national and regional newspapers; languages covered: Tojik\u012b, Russian, and Uzbek titles]; Solnomai kitob va zhurnal\u1e23o<\/strong><\/em> = Knizhno-zhurnal\u2019naia letopis\u2019<\/strong><\/em>[for 1947, published in 1948.\u00a0 Monographs and articles from journals, 55 pages]; Solnomai kitob\u1e23oi soli 1949<\/strong><\/em> = Knizhnaia letopis\u2019 1949 g<\/strong><\/em> [Russian and Tojik\u012b monographs, 48 pages]; Letopisi kitobii sol\u1e23oi<\/strong><\/em> = Knizhnaia letopis\u2019<\/strong><\/em> (1938-1948) [Published in 1949; Total number of titles: 618.

The catalog of oriental manuscripts of the Academy of Sciences of Tojikiston, as described in volume one, contained 3054 volumes of manuscripts in Tojik\u012b, Persian, Arabic, Uzbek, and other oriental languages.\u00a0 The manuscripts range in time from the 13th to the 20th century.<\/p>\n By 1955 all the works in the fond were cataloged using a library card system, with each card bearing 19 bibliographic rubrics, such as author, title, place of writing or copying, and type of script.\u00a0\u00a0 The project of describing the fond continued and by 1959 the annotations of manuscripts in Tojik\u012b, Persian, and Turkic languages was finalized.\u00a0 The result was the publication of\u00a0 volume one in 1960, which includes manuscripts on history, geography, historical topography, memoirs, historical biographies, and other documents.\u00a0 This volume contains a total of 288 annotations.<\/p>\n The principles guiding the annotations for this catalog [volumes 1-6] are as follows<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The third volume contains 339 descriptions of artistic works, mostly poetic, composed in\u00a0Tojik\u012b [Persian] and Turkic languages, composed in the XVI-XVII centuries.\u00a0 The principles of description have been maintained from volumes I and II.\u00a0 This volume addresses one of the least researched periods in the history of T\u043ejik literature.\u00a0 The descriptions have been prepared on the basis of the only known existing copies of a work.\u00a0 In some cases the works included exist only in imperfect, incomplete form.\u00a0 In many cases the lists of works compiled during the life of a poet, or gleaned from correspondence were used to complete the entries on particular authors.\u00a0 This volume includes also some very rare translations, such as the translation of\u00a0\u0160\u0101hn\u0101meh by\u00a0Ferdows\u012b into Kipchak, translated in Egypt by poet Sharifi.\u00a0 In describing these works, all efforts were made to consult the existing literature on the topic compiled by Tojik, Russian, Turkish, and Western European specialists.<\/p>\n The fourth volume of this catalog is organized on the same principles of description of literary works as was the case with volume two.\u00a0 The general principles of bibliographic description remain the same as in volume one.\u00a0 The fourth volume includes 403 [No. 1097-1499] descriptions of poetic manuscripts written in Tojiki [Farsi] and Uzbek languages by authors living in the XVIII-th, XIX-beginning of the XX century.\u00a0 The volume includes several particularly rare works of Tojik literature. As an example, we can mention the full list of works of a prominent Tojik author of the second half of the XVIIth century, Mir \u2018Abid Saiiida Nasafi, which have not until this time been presented in any catalog.\u00a0 It is also the case with many other Tojik poets. Not a single source discussing the Tojik literature of the XVIIIth century has survived.\u00a0 It is unknown whether such a source (tazkira) was even written.\u00a0 This greatly complicates the study of the literature of that period, since all the researchers have to go on are the poetic works themselves.\u00a0 Also, with the exception of the library catalog, Institute of Oriental Studies, Uzbek Academy of Sciences, there are no descriptions of the poetry of that time. Thus many of the descriptions of these works are presented for the first time in this volume.\u00a0 The fourth volume also describes numerous manuscripts of the poets of the first part of the XIXth century connected to the literary circles of Fergana and Bukhara.\u00a0\u00a0 Also included are works of the XIXth century poets who lived in the mountainous regions of Tojikiston.\u00a0 During the period of the XIXth and the beginning of the XX centuries the literary circles of Mawarannahr have grown considerably and several bilingual poets began to write not only in Tojiki but also in Uzbek language.\u00a0 In many cases, the works of these poets have not been properly collected and described, and this volume is the first attempt at such a complete description.\u00a0\u00a0 For that purpose the collection of both Tadzhik and Uzbek libraries and archives were consulted by the compilers of this volume, and the works of several half-forgotten poets have been brought to light.\u00a0 As in the case of other volumes, besides examining the works de visu<\/em>, all existing catalogs and descriptions have been examined for additional information.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shevchenko, Z.

\nThis volume and the next three volumes are devoted to belles lettres<\/em>. It was decided that the descriptions of poetic and artistic prose found in the collections of the Academy of Sciences of\u00a0 who penned both poetry and prose (such as Sa\u2019di, Dzhami (Jami) and others).\u00a0 For the convenience of the reader, the works of such authors are grouped together in volumes devoted to poetry, within the chapter corresponding to the chronological time period of life of a given author, and the description of the prose of the writer follows the description of his poetic works.
\nThis exception does not extend to works in prose that do not have artistic (fictional) merit.\u00a0 Thus for example the description of the prose work by Dzhami(Jami) [“Nafa-khat al-uns min khazarat al-kuds”]which is a Sufi commentary, rather than a work of fiction, is not located in the chapter of vol 2 devoted to the poetry of the 15th century, but rather in the volume devoted to the Sufism.<\/li>\n\n
\nIn this type of work were included items of the “tazkira type,” which provide biobibliographical information on the literary figures of a particular time period and region.\u00a0 These works are presented in chronological order.\u00a0 Some works, which do contain some information on several poets, such as the works of Dzhami, but which are predominantly devoted to Sufi\u00a0 thought.\u00a0 These are presented in the volume devoted to Sufism;<\/li>\n
\nThis volume contains descriptions of some extremely rare works, some of which exist in only one copy.\u00a0\u00a0 There are also authors, such as Nizari Kukhistani who have been very little, if at all, treated in catalogs published by other libraries.\u00a0 In the preparation of the volume, the sizable team of compilers worked with materials de visu<\/em> and used a wide array of existing descriptive literature and archival sources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBIBLIOGRAPHIES OF BIBLIOGRAPHIES<\/h2>\n
