Abstract: "Qisasi Rabg'uziy" (The Stories of Rabghuzi) became popular among readers in its time and spread to various parts of the world, as it was the first Turkic source dedicated to the history of prophets. Although the author named the work "Qisasi Rabg'uziy," it gained fame among the people under the name "Qisasul Anbiya" ("Stories of the Prophets") and was taken to various regions of the world in numerous copies. Therefore, the study of the manuscripts of the work has always been an urgent issue. The article provides an analytical discussion of the changes that occurred in the text of Nasiruddin Rabghuzi's "Qisasi Rabg'uziy" and their causes by comparing the ancient manuscript copies of the work, the copy kept in the British Museum in the 15th century, the copy copied in Kazan in the 16th century, and the rare copies kept under inventory number 1834 at the Abu Rayhan Beruni Institute of Manuscripts of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
