Abstract

The article focuses on the personality of Abdulla Hadjj of Chokh and his collection “Khulasatu L-Mava’iz” which was previously unknown in the scientific circles. The collection “Khulasatu L-Mava’iz” puts together and systematizes the works of the Avarian pre-revolutionary scientists beginning from the period of Muhammad of Kudatli, an acknowledged founder of Avarian pre-revolutionary literature, till the beginning of the XX century. According to the author, the study of this collection which includes, among the others, the paper written by the compiler himself, contributes greatly into the Dagestan literary criticism. The article also considers the personality of Abdulla Hadjj of Chokh, his life experience and career which is little known nowadays; nevertheless he is one of the most prominent figures among the Avarian intellectuals of the mentioned period.
