This article examines the reception, transmission, and scholarly appreciation of Alisher Navoi’s literary heritage in the Bukhara Emirate from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Although Persian held a strong position in administration, historiography, and elite literary culture, manuscript evidence, tazkiras, courtly copying practices, poetic responses, private libraries, and lexicographical activity demonstrate the enduring prestige of Turkic literature and the exceptional authority of Navoi’s oeuvre. The study argues that Navoi’s works functioned not only as literary models but also as cultural criteria through which Turkic identity and intellectual continuity were maintained in Bukhara.
