Abstract

The ancient culture of the peoples of Central Asia, including the Uzbeks, has reached a high level of development in many areas and has made a worthy contribution to world science. The great treasure they created was passed down from generation to generation and still serves humanity. This priceless heritage has come down to us mainly in the form of handwritten books. Thanks to these manuscripts, the peoples of Central Asia enjoy the cultural heritage left by their ancestors. These rare and valuable manuscripts are documents indicating that the peoples of Central Asia have made a significant contribution to the development of world science and culture. From historical sources it is known that in the past books in Central Asia were not published regardless of the field of science, all works were made by copying manuscripts. This delicate, painstaking and noble work has been carried out for centuries by learned, experienced, talented and courteous calligraphers.
