Abstract

The article is devoted to the contribution of a well-known historian-orientalist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Amri Rzaevich Shikhsaidov to the study of land tenure in Dagestan. The authors of the article studied three monographs and a number of articles by A.R. Shikhsaidov, dedicated to the history of the region and its southern part in the VII – XIX centuries. It is important to note that A.R. Shikhsaidov was one of the first to analyze the works of Arab historians and geographers, as well as local Arabic-speaking sources, and extensively studied land arrangements in Dagestan in the early Middle Ages, from the X – XV centuries to the XIX century inclusive. The article analyzes the classification of A.R. Shikhsaidov forms of agriculture. He singled out a number of forms (state land, diya, ikta, waqf and freehold land), which experienced the known influence of political and socio-economic processes in the region and changed during the historical process. The authors of the article show the contribution of the scholar in identifying and characterizing changes in the status of land tenure forms in the historical process. The authors emphasize the importance of the material, introduced by A.R. Shikhsaidov in the scientific circulation, for each of these forms of land ownership. The scientific value of the analogies carried out by Professor Shikhsaidov for various forms of land ownership that existed in Dagestan with various forms of land ownership in the countries of Western Europe, Russia and the South Caucasus countries is emphasized.
The article is of an overview nature and will be useful both for the study of the work of a prominent Dagestan scholar and for researchers in the development of land relations in Dagestan.
