Abstract. Some issues of the medieval history of Azerbaijan in
modern local and foreign historiography were considered in general.
These studies mainly cover study areas (madrasah and Sufi associations)
and some areas of culture (science, literature and architecture).
In our research, we studied issues that have not been covered in
our cultural history, including teaching time, levels, educational
rules, textbooks, libraries, academic year, scholarships to students
and teachers' salaries, orphans and homeless children. Since the
rich cultural heritage of the Middle Ages was often studied in the
light of political and social events, issues directly related to human
life were in the background. However, the material, religious, legal
and spiritual culture of the Middle Ages was often at the forefront
of political events. The attention of medieval Azerbaijani rulers in
many cases to the personality of the scientist and poet indicates the
level and importance of the period of instruction. Sources tell of
medieval Azerbaijan about the great number of scholars and
educators, large and renowned libraries and the education of the
people, who teach in many madrasahs, cities of great importance
and even foundations of cities. During this period, we have witnessed
some areas of science, in particular literature, political science
(sofas and palace schools), as well as the widespread popularity of
medicine. It is noteworthy that special schools functioned for the
training of civil servants and statesmen, even state servicemen
during the training period. As a result, interest in education in the
Middle Ages was high. This, unlike what we thought in modern
history, gives us grounds to say that medieval people are far beyond
education and science and are illiterate.
