The medieval history of Kazakhstan is closely connected with works in the Persian language. The vast majority of manuscripts are written with Arabic graphics in the meaning of the Persian language. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Kazakhstan’s achievement of independence accelerated the process of theoretical rethinking of national history. As an integral part of the state ideology, historians faced the task of substantiating the depth of the Kazakh national history. In this regard, the demand for translation and theoretical comparative-analytical work of the medieval Persian manuscripts increased significantly. Special research grants were allocated to bring the medieval Persian works’ copies stored in foreign museums and Manuscript Collections to Kazakhstan and translate them. Special attention was paid to the activities of the Institute of Oriental Studies. In addition, today there are a number of problems in the course of studying medieval manuscripts in Arabic and Persian. The article pays attention to their peculiarities and solutions. The purpose of this research work is to analyse the level and challenges of modern study of medieval Persian manuscripts in Kazakhstan. In addition, the authors of the article have developed recommendations on ways to deal with problems encountered in the process of studying and introducing manuscripts into scientific circulation.
