His book «Saki-Name» («The Book about the Cup-Bearer») gained especial fame, it is distinguished with specific structure and volume having exercised strong influence over a further development of Saki-name genre. The article dwells on the description of Zukhuri`s «Saki-Name» manuscripts. It is outlined that up to now correlative studies of variant reading in «Saki-Name» manuscripts have not been effectuated yet.
