Abstract

The monograph constitutes a biobibliographic reference book of Central Asian poets-adibs of the 16^th — first third of the 17^th centuries, comprising 577 biographic articles.

Biographic information about poets is given together with the examples of their works in Persian, Turki and Arabic, most of which were never published before. This fact allows to use this reference book as an anthology for the Central Asian literature. The reference book is based on a significant number of sources — over 90 compositions, including 45 manuscripts, were used for its compilation. The reference matter of the book includes 1155 notes and 6 indices, 2 of which relate to the poems cited in the text.

The book can be useful not only for experts, but for all those interested in literature and culture of the Central Asia.
