Annotation: The comprehensive analysis of the literary legacy of the great poet Ali-Shir Nava’i, who is a great representative of our classical literature, remains one of the most pressing issues in the field of textual criticism today. For more than five hundred years, the poet's works have captivated people with their charm. While people read these works with great enthusiasm from the moment they were written, writers read them from the poet's life to the beginning of the last century. While people read these works with great enthusiasm from the moment they were written, calligraphers copied these works from the period of the poet's life until the beginning of the last century. Manuscripts written by calligraphers differ from each other in literacy and skill. When rewriting a work, for some reason, scribes could inadvertently make mistakes, omissions in the text, or add some words and phrases to it. One of the main tasks of the textual criticism are to restore the author's original text as possible. As a result of comparative analysis of manuscripts, the text of the work is found in perfect shape. The article deals with the editions of “Khamsat al-Mutakhayyirin” by Alisher Navoi published in Turkey. Along with the peculiarities of these publications, the flaws and shortcomings in them are discussed based on the primary sources of the work.
