This Catalogue of the Central Asian Letters Patent from the Manuscript Fund of the Beruni-Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan (in Russian) provides access to an important, and hitherto nearly unknown collection of 122 documents issued by rulers of the Central Asian khanates of Bukhara, Khiwa and Kokand. The decrees date from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century. The catalogue consists of descriptions, various indices (both in Cyrillic and Arabic script), a glossary, as well as facsimiles of all documents described. It provides a rich and important resource for the study of Central Asian history, especially administrative and legal history, during the early modern and colonial period. It is a joint publication of the Oriental Institute of Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and the Beruni-Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan.
