Abstract
This article discusses one of the famous religious works named “Kashshof”, in particular, its manuscript copies (full name - “al-Kashshof fi haqaqiqi ghavomidi-t-tanzil va uyuni-l -aqovil fi vujuhi-t-ta'vil”) (“The one that opens the eyes of narrations by interpreting the hidden truths of the Qur’an”) of the great Chorasmian scholar Abul Qasim Mahmud Zamakhshari dedicated to the interpretation of the Holy Quran. Today, fourteen manuscripts of this tafseer (a comentary to the Holy Quran) are kept in the manuscript fund of the Institute of Oriental Studies named after Abu Rayhan Beruni of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. The article analyzes these fourteen manuscripts in detail from the point of view of source studies. The complete bibliographic index of each manuscript is recorded. The manuscripts also contain detailed information about the surahs (chapters in Quran) - how many verses, where they were revealed, how the surah interpretations were given, and the calligraphy of the manuscripts. At the end of the article, photos from the manuscripts of “Kashshof” are attached to give an idea of the manuscripts.
