Abstract

The article deals with a problem of studying, transcribing and preparing for publication the literary archive of a Khakass writer N.T. Nerbyshev. It is known that N. Nerbyshev worked in the genre of lyrics and prose. A part of the literary archive consisting of prose works is analyzed in this paper. Based on D.S. Likhachyov’s well-known method, the characteristic features of the main criteria for scientific description of manuscripts are considered. According to D.S. Likhachyov’s method, external and internal features of the manuscripts are identified and described. The manuscript of drama play “Taisiya Karbaevna”, which had not been previously published and staged in the theater, was discovered during the analysis of N. Nerbyshev’s archive. An artistic analysis of the play leads to the conclusion that the play is a complete work that is necessary to be prepared for publication and subsequently published.
