Study on Historical Hagiography Manuscripts of Eastern Part of Central Asia in Early Modern Times

Tadhkira-i Khwajagan or Tadhkira-i 'Azizan, a historical hagiography authored by Muhammad Sadiq Kashghari around the latter half of the eighteen century in Eastern part of Central Asia, has many manuscripts far more than twenty. I have collated two groups of manuscripts, i.e. A Group (long version) and B Group (short version). As a result, it becomes clear that rhetorically different phrases are much found between two groups, and the contents and constitutions are different from each other.
