CODICOLOGY OF THE MANUSCRIPTS INCLUDED INTO KAMOL KHUJANDI`S DIVAN KEPT IN AYA-SOFIYA LIBRARY

Five rare manuscripts included into Kamol Khujandi`s divan kept in «Aya-Sofiya» Library (Istanbul) are presented under the numbers 3857, 3945, 3946, 3962 and 3963. There is given a brief history of the museum in question; the significance of its written legacy being emphasized. The most important codicological peculiarities of each of the five lists are expounded. It is underscored that list №3945 rewritten by Hafiz Hasan Shirazi in 813 hijra (the middle of November 1410) in Shiraz only in ten years after Kamol`s death for today is considered the ancientest dated list of the poet`s divan. Proceeding from certain signs, the author expresses a well-grounded supposition running to the effect that the second ancient dated lists of Kamol Khujandi`s works kept in the library in question under the number of 3857 also belongs to the pen of Hafiz Hasan Shirazi. The author marks the importance of the lists kept in «Aya-Sofiya» Library in subsequent publication of Kamol Khujandi`s divan.
