Abstract
This article is devoted to the description of historical and cultural monuments of Bashkortostan in the form of Sufi Arabic handwritten works concentrated in the funds of their storage of the Department of Rare Books and Publications of the National Library of the Republic of Bashkortostan named after. Ahmed-Zaki Walidi and the Department of Rare Books of the Scientific Library of the Ufa Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Based on the study and analysis of these sources, introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, it was possible to identify the nature, process, and features of the spread and development of Sufism in Bashkortostan. The variety of Sufi handwritten works in the collections of Ufa city and their wide chronological framework, represented by the Late Middle Ages and the period of Modern times, indicate the demand for these historical and cultural monuments among the Muslim population of the region in the pre-revolutionary period.
