Abstract

As a result of the expeditions organised to East Turkistan in the 20th century, the scientific community became acquainted with Old Uyghur texts. The first studies on Old Uyghur texts were carried out by individuals such as Le Coq, Müller, Bang-Kaup, Gabain and Arat, after which research in this field gradually expanded.
