National Academy of Sciences of the Azerbaijan SSR
Hamid Mammadtaghi oglu Arasly (Azerbaijani: Həmid Hacı Məmmədtağı oğlu Araslı; 23 February 1902 – 20 November 1983) was an Azerbaijani literary critic, Doctor of Sciences in Philology, and an academic at the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences.[1] He is acknowledged as one of the most prominent literary critics and philologists of Azerbaijan.
Hamid Arasly has conducted extensive critical research of the works of well-known Azerbaijani and Persian poets as Nizami Ganjavi, Fuzûlî, as well as Imamaddin Nasimi.[2] He has authored multiple works on Azerbaijani literary history. One of his most important contributions to his field is the release of the first full-text Russian edition of the Book of Dede Korkut in 1939.[3]
His period of activity corresponds with heightened repression in the Soviet Union.[4] In 1936, using the eastern manuscripts he had been collecting for a few years, Hamid Arasly created the Manuscripts Bureau within the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences. However, a year later, some of the manuscripts preserved in the bureau were found to be against the principles of Soviet ideology. The academic was subsequently fired from his position.[2] He has also been pressured by the Soviet authorities for his publication of the Book of Dede Korkut. The Book, which is a collection of epic stories describing the lifestyle of the nomadic Turkic peoples and their pre-Islamic beliefs, was criticized by the Soviet government for allegedly promoting bourgeois nationalism.[5] Nevertheless, the publication of dastans did not wholly cease during that period.[6]
