| Research Abstract |
We divided one thousand years of the history of Muslim community into the following three periods : the formative period (9-13 centuries), the developmental period (14-19 centuries) and the changing period (19 century and later). Each period was studied by research groups a, b and c respectively. Although the research activities of the groups are primarily independent to each other, we had consensus that we pay attention to the shifting periods from one period to the other and take into consideration the comparison with areas other than Central Asia. We had also consensus that finding and using of primary sources form the very area are indispensable for studying Muslim communities "from the inside".
The primary result of this study is the development of not only common kinds of sources such as chronicles but also so far unused sources such as Sufi literatures including hagiographies and genealogies, documents, epigraphy, newspapers, research reports, and so on. Especially, we successfully put on track the process of digitalization, classification and description of the vast amount of Islamic court document preserved in research institutes of the area in collaboration with the Ichan-Qala Museum, the Samarqand National Museum of History, Architecture and Art, and Ferghana Regional Museum, the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Another result is that concrete images of the communities of the each period were clarified through our studies based on the above mentioned sources. Especially, it is no exaggeration to say that historical studies based on Islamic court documents were launched in earnest only through our research project. In addition, our knowledge and skill gained through this study were shared among Japanese researchers through "research seminar on Central Asian diplomatics" held four times in Kyoto University of Foreign Studies every March.
