History and Culture of the Peoples of Central Asia: Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Istoriya i kultura narodov Sredney Azii. Drevnost i Srednie veka).
Edited by B. G. Gafurov and B. A. Litvinsky. Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Institute of Oriental Studies.
Moscow: Nauka, Central Editorial Office of Oriental Literature, 1976.
206 pp., 53 illus. and maps. Encyclopedic format. Edition of 6200 copies. Hardcover.
Includes two inserted plans of Bukhara dated 1842.

This 1976 encyclopedic collection is a major scholarly milestone in Soviet Central Asian studies, edited by the eminent academician Bobodzhan Gafurov and the distinguished archaeologist Boris Litvinsky. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of civilizational development in the region, including the arrangement of three major sections: Antiquity, the Early Middle Ages, and the Developed and Late Middle Ages. The volume features fundamental research on the genealogy of the Arsacids, the architectural typology of Bactrian dwellings by Galina Pugachenkova, and the spiritual worldview of the Sogdians as reflected in the world-famous art of Panjakent.  Special emphasis is placed on urban history, including the chronology of the Mukanna uprising and the decorative systems of the Gur-e-Amir mausoleum. A significant highlight of this edition is the inclusion of historical plans of Bukhara from 1842, providing invaluable data for metrology and urban topology. As a vital primary source, this volume documents the rigorous multidisciplinary approach—combining numismatics, archaeology, and historical linguistics—that defined the late Soviet school of Oriental studies. Published in an impressive encyclopedic format with over fifty illustrations, this work is a significant bibliographical rarity for Orientalists, historians of the Silk Road, and collectors of high-level academic publications on Islamic and Pre-Islamic architecture.
