“COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MANUSCRIPTS AND EDITIONS OF ALISHER NAVOI’S 'HAYRAT UL-ABROR”: TEXTUAL VARIATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS ACROSS TIME AND REGIONS
Vol. 4 No. 9 (2024): Евразийский журнал социальных наук, философии и культуры 47-56
Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the various manuscripts and printed editions of Alisher Navoi’s Hayrat ul-Abror, exploring the linguistic, textual, and philosophical variations that have emerged across different regions and historical periods. By employing a multidisciplinary methodology that combines philological analysis with historical-contextual examination, the research identifies significant lexical, syntactic, and thematic differences in the text. These variations are closely tied to the cultural and intellectual environments in which the manuscripts were produced, particularly the influence of Sufi metaphysics and regional linguistic norms. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of manuscript transmission and highlight how Navoi’s work was continually reshaped by evolving intellectual and cultural trends. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of literary transmission in the Persianate world and offers new insights into the broader processes of textual adaptation and interpretation.
