The article is devoted to the manuscripts P98 (Tajwid) and P436 (Handbook for the tajwid terminology) from the Central Library of the National Scientific Academy of the Republic of Belarus. They were united under one code (P98) in the past and described in several catalogues as one manuscript. But, in fact, only the content of the first manuscript was shown. The content of the second manuscript (P436) was not taken into account.
Dating the manuscript P98 to the 70–80 years of the 18th century, proposed in the previous works according to the watermarks, seems to be extremely unconvincing. It is being argued here on the base of the orthography that the manuscripts P98 and P436 were copied in the middle of the 19th century.
Besides, the research of the contents of the manuscript P436 allows defining it as “a handbook for the tajwid terminology”.
