Book excerpt: The survey, titled The Description of the Karabagh Province, compiled in 1823, was eventually published in 1866 by the printing house of the Viceroy of the Caucasus in Tiflis. The number of copies printed must have been very few, for it, as well as the previous surveys conducted in the Sheki (Shakki) Province by Mogilevskii and General F. Akhverdov in 1819, and in the Shirvan Province, by Mogilevskii and General V. Madatov in 1820, both of which were also printed in 1866 in Tiflis, soon became rarities. To our knowledge, with the exception of I. P. Petrushevskii, no serious scholar of 19th-century Transcaucasia or Iran has mined the valuable information contained in these surveys. As a historian of the various khanates of Transcaucasia and Iran, Prof. George Bournoutian had been very interested in examining this survey for many years.
