Epigraphy from the Sufi Allayar Mosque is presented for the first time in this volume. Allayar (1644-1721), with whom the mosque is associated, was a philosopher, Sufi and a famous poet at his time. Most of the inscriptions are painted in ink or carved on the columns, beams, crosspieces or walls of the mosque. Such inscriptions, especially those in ink, are extremely rare. Following a local tradition, inscriptions were made by the visitors of the mosque as a memory. These inscriptions were left by the dozens by people who, judging by what they wrote, came from different social strata (not necessarily the clergy – they were often ordinary artisans). Researchers concluded about high literacy in different segments of the population of the region at that time. This is confirmed, firstly, by the style and script, which is often calligraphic or simply quite neat. Secondly, the inscriptions are most often poems by different poets (including Sufi Allayar). Moreover, judging by discrepancies, they were clearly written from memory.
