The manuscript of Alisher Navoi's "Divan" is housed in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

This unique work was rewritten in 1499–1500 in Herat by the calligrapher Sultan Ali Mashhadi. It holds historical significance as the last vivid example of the creative collaboration between Navoi and Mashhadi.

The manuscript consists of 863 poems, including 818 ghazals, 31 rubaiyat, and other poetic forms. The manuscript was prepared during the final years of Navoi's life, and it is possible that the poet himself participated in its compilation.

The manuscript, housed in the Metropolitan Museum, is important not only for scholarly research but also for revealing new facets of Navoi's creativity. Scholars conduct deeper analyses based on this manuscript and draw conclusions about the poetry of the great poet.

Today, Navoi's manuscripts located abroad attract significant interest as an integral part of Uzbek cultural heritage. They open new avenues for literary studies and contribute to the global popularization of Navoi's work.
