Abstract. Research objectives: The publication and analysis of the epigraphic description of the 1910 tombstone of Husein-bek from the Chishminsky mausoleum in the territory of the modern Republic of Bashkortostan.
Research materials: Archival documents and the epigraphic monument of Husein-bek (tombstone). The work also involves extensive data from the historiography of the study of the tombstone of Husein-bek from the Chishmin mausoleum.
Results and novelty of the research: The analysis of the discovered archival file containing epigraphic descriptions of Turkic-Muslim monuments has been carried out. The history of the formation of archival documents of various confessions and the role of Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich Romanov in the study and popularization of the epigraphic heritage of Russia is revealed in detail.
A historiographical and textual analysis of the discovered epigraphic description of the 1910 tombstone of Husein-bek from the Chishmin mausoleum, this paper discloses the data on the epigraphist who completed the description of the monument in 1910. Attention is drawn to the unique interpretation by contemporaries of the place where Husein-bek was born, namely “from the Tirsanovoy area of Turkestan”. The author of the study puts forward his own original interpretation of the term « ترساني » and suggests that scientists look at this word as “Lakab” – part of an Arabic name, an honorary title. The issue of dating the monument is also being updated.

Keywords: pre-revolutionary Russian epigraphy, historiography of epigraphic research, epigraphic monuments, Chishminsky mausoleum, tomb monument of Husein-bek
