This 1936 academic publication, issued in Tiflis (Tbilisi) by the Georgian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, is a vital primary source for the history of the South Caucasus. The volume contains meticulous translations, scholarly commentaries, and high-quality facsimiles of 25 original Persian and Turkic manuscripts pertaining to the Nakhichevan region and the Kengerlu tribe. Spanning the 17th through 19th centuries, these documents offer rare insights into the administrative, social, and land-ownership structures of the era. The work was published as part of a series dedicated to the memory of Yuri Marr (1893–1935), a brilliant orientalist and son of the famous linguist Nicholas Marr. With a limited print run of only 1,000 copies, this book survived the turbulent late 1930s and remains a cornerstone for historians specializing in Azerbaijani history, Iranian studies, and Caucasian diplomacy. It is a significant rarity for institutional libraries and specialized collectors of Oriental studies.
