metadata.value: The article gives a general description of old printed Dagestan books stored in the Department
  of National Literatures of the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg and an annotated description
  of the most popular Avar-language writings in Dagestan in Ajam. The Department
  of national literature of the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg has the richest literature
  in 98 languages, ranging from 17th-century printed editions to modern literature. The library
  has 159 books in the North Caucasian languages. The books are published in the printing
  houses of Muhammadmirza Mavraev in Temir-khan Shura, A. M. Mikhailov in Port-Petrovsk,
  Ibnuhajar Nahibashev in Khasavyurt. The works are written in Arabic, Chechen, Avar, Lak,
  Kumik and Dargin languages. Avar writing passed a rather long and complicated way of formation
  and development. The numerous works of Avar written language that have come down
  to us testify to the gradual process of adapting the Arabic graphic system to the phonetic
  features of the Dagestan languages. The earliest of them date from the XIII–XIV centuries.
  The formation of the Ajam letter system contributed to the appearance in the languages of the
  peoples of Dagestan a large number of works of various genres written by Dagestan scholars
  or translated into national languages. The emergence of typography in Dagestan at the end of
  the 19th — beginning of the 20th century accelerated the development and dissemination of
  the Ajam written language and literature. The geographical dispersion of the storage places
  of old-printed Dagestan books complicates our understanding of their quantitative indicator. Annually conducted by the staff of the Department of Oriental studies of the Institute of
  history, archaeology and Ethnography of the DFC RAS archaeographic work with expedition
  trips to different regions of Dagestan indicates the existence of many undiscovered written
  sources on the history of Dagestan book culture. The identification of old printed books, their
  fixation and research remains a relevant task today. In the article we tried to give an extended
  description of old-printed books in Avar language, located in the Department of National
  Literatures of the National Library of Russia. Book descriptions are supplemented with information
  about the authors of books, the characteristic of works, copyists, which are drawn
  from prefaces, colophons and extra-text entries. The information contained in the article can
  be useful in compiling catalogs and descriptions of old printed books in Dagestan languages.
