Чины двора и Свита Их Величеств (Почетный экземпляр действительному статскому советнику Гаджи-Зейналабдину Тагиеву)

"Ranks of the Court and the Retinue of Their Majesties" (A Personalized Copy Presented to Active State Councillor Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev) is a rare and significant publication that serves as a valuable historical source, providing a detailed account of the composition and structure of the court ranks of the Russian Empire. The impressive format (36 cm), portrait illustrations, and luxurious design highlight its high significance and exceptional value. The copy is crafted in an exquisite leather binding with gold embossing, making it an invaluable source of information and a true work of book art. The special significance of this copy is highlighted by the fact that among the peoples of the South Caucasus, two Azerbaijani philanthropists—Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev and Murtuza Mukhtarov—were included in the book. Their outstanding contributions to culture and charity are reflected on its pages, and the copy was solemnly presented to Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev. This is not only a recognition of their merits, but also a testimony to the significant role they played in the social and cultural life of Transcaucasia during the Russian Empire. Today, this copy is included in the State Register of Book Monuments of Azerbaijan, which confirms its cultural and historical value.
