The Role of Tazkira Written in Bukhara in the Study of the Cultural Life of the Mangit Period

Abstract

In the field of history, tazkiras are used effectively to study the life and history of individuals and creative people of different eras. The analysis of tazkiras shows that through them it is possible to evaluate not only the cultural life, but also the spirit of the era. Among them, there are those created under the commission and patronage of rulers or written on the basis of personal initiative to continue or supplement previous tazkiras. Tazkiras were mainly written by poets, calligraphers, and historians and continued until the middle of the 20th century.
