The library of Budapest stores manuscripts about the poetry of Magtymguly Fragi
Unique manuscripts previously unknown to the scientific community, related to the creative heritage of the great poet Magtymguly Fragi, were discovered by Turkmen scientists in the information center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest.
Two researchers from Turkmenistan, who arrived in the Hungarian capital, searched for almost a month for ancient manuscripts that mention the creative heritage of Magtymguly and other famous Turkmen poets. Handwritten sources are stored in the funds of the Hungarian library and the information center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, where the “studying” of rare documents took place.
Earlier, Hungarian specialists told their colleagues from Turkmenistan that more than ten thousand Arabic, Persian and ancient Turkic manuscripts are stored in the library of Budapest. The attention of scientists was attracted by a collection of scrolls that belonged to Arminius Vamberi, a Hungarian orientalist, polyglot and traveler who once visited the territory of modern Turkmenistan. He brought one of the manuscripts from this expedition. It contains three poems related to the pen of Magtymguly, as well as such Turkmen classical poets as Nurmuhammet Andalip, Meshrep and Misgin.
Among the unique finds of researchers are also 70 ancient books related to the literature, history and culture of the Turkmen people. Of these, 39 are in Turkmen, 22 are in Persian and 7 are in Arabic. Scientists brought color electronic copies of documents to Turkmenistan. They will help in further study of the poetic heritage of Magtymguly and other great Turkmen poets and historical figures.
