Chotano-Sogdica

Linguistic Studies on Sogdian and Khotanese

During more than half a century, from 1972 onwards, Nicholas Sims-Williams has published many important articles on the older Iranian languages, especially Eastern Middle Iranian (Sogdian, Bactrian and Khotanese). Virtually all of his articles on Sogdian and Khotanese are collected in the present volume, together with three entirely new papers entitled “Is there a ‘predicative instrumental’ in Sogdian?”, “Yaghnobi and the Sogdian ‘Rhythmic Law’” and “The locative singular in Old Khotanese”. The...

Hybrid Judeo-Persian and Arabic Correspondence

Eight Documents from the Cairo Genizah

The more than 300,000 documents discovered in a storeroom of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo in the late 19th century, now housed in the collections in St. Petersburg, Cambridge, and Paris, are known as the Cairo Genizah. These documents, which span a wide array of subjects, are invaluable sources for understanding the history of medieval Judaism, as well as for the social and economic landscape of the Mediterranean from the 10th to the 13th centuries. Among them are thousands of private...

GALATELLO Martina

The Syriac Script at Turfan

First Soundings

This is the first book-length palaeographic study of about a thousand fragments in Syriac and Sogdian languages discovered between 1902 and 1914 in the Turfan area on the ancient Northern Silk Roads. This manuscript material, probably dating between the late 8th and 13th /14th centuries, is of utmost relevance for the history of an area that represents a crossroads region of various communities, languages and religions, not least the East Syriac Christian community. Palaeographic factors such...

Ein Bestseller der islamischen Vormoderne

Zur Verbreitung von Ḫvāndamīrs Ḥabīb as-siyar von Anatolien bis auf den indischen Subkontinent

Iranianate and Syriac Christianity in Late Antiquity and the Early Islamic Period

It is by now widely acknowledged that between late antiquity and the first centuries of Islam, Syriac-speaking Christian communities were more than just scattered minority communities with little impact in geographical areas strongly shaped by the Iranian element. “Iranianate and Syriac Christianity” bridges across different specialized disciplines, first and foremost Iranian Studies and Syriac Studies and the History of Christianity, and assembles a range of authoritative voices on the...

The "River of Fire" and the "River of Molten Metal"

A Historico-Theological Rafting Through the Rapids of the Christian and Mazdean Apokatastatic Falls

This book is dedicated to the Mazdean theological representation of the end of historical time. While the subject is usually treated in the framework of the category of apocalypticism, scholarly debate has rarely dealt with the more appropriate theme of the apokatastasis (the complete regeneration of the world with the annihilation of Hell and the salvation of the whole humanity). The doctrine of Ohrmazd’s universal mercy was an innovation in the religious scenario of ancient Iran, but its...

Studies in the Chronology of the Bactrian Documents from Northern Afghanistan

with contributions by Harry Falk and Dieter Weber

More than 150 documents in Bactrian, the chief administrative language of pre-Islamic Afghanistan, have come to light during the last twenty-five years. These documents include letters, legal contracts, economic documents and a few Buddhist texts; many of them bear dates in the so-called “Bactrian era”, which is also known from a few inscriptions, such as the Tochi valley inscriptions in Pakistan, but whose starting-point is controversial. The Bactrian documents have the potential to transform...

(The Subjugation of the Jamshidis)

This is an edition of a Chaghatay-language chronicle written in 1841 in Khiva.

It has come to us as a single manuscript, which was discovered a few years ago among the holdings of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
