AbstractDie frühe Präsenz der Arier im Vorderen und Mittleren Orient ist Gegenstand einer Untersuchung, die ich anhand positiver materieller und sprachlicher Evidenz vorgenommen habe. Ein Teil davon (Band 1, Heft 1) ist bereits veröffentlicht, und der andere Teil (Hauptwerk) erscheint in Kürze.1 Der vorliegende Artikel ist ein Auszug der im Hauptwerk (hier als Vo.Arier abgekürzt) ausführlich behandelten sprachlichen Aspekte, die dort in Verbindung mit materiellen Evidenzen behandelt und hier vorab veröffentlicht und zur Diskussion gestellt werden. Das Thema wurde bereits auf der Second International Iranian Studies Conference präsentiert.2 Eine Monographie unter demselben Titel ist bereits erschienen (hier durchgesehen und geringfügig erweitert), die mehrere Landkarten und Bilder sowie Umschriften, Registern und Literaturnachweise enthält. In beiden Veröffentlichungen habe ich bewußt auf die materielle Evidenz weitgehend verzichtet, um die Arbeit auf sprachlicher Basis abzurunden. Aber selbst die hier angebotenen sprachlichen Zeugnisse sind weder komplett noch durch Textauszüge aus alten Urkunden gestützt, die in umfangreichem Maße im Hauptwerk angeführt werden.

Source Materials

The history of literature in Persian has not been sufficiently studied although it is almost twelve centuries old, and was at times in widespread use in Afghanistan, Eastern Turkestan, India, Turkey and the Caucasus, as well as in Iran and Central Asia. The comparatively late development of Iranian studies and the condition of source materials are to blame for this situation.

The Committee on the Selection of the Best Dissertation of the Year on a Topic of Iranian Studies of the Foundation for Iranian Studies has cited two dissertations with Honorable Mention. Azin Movahed’s, The Persian Ney: A Study of the Instrument and its Musical Style, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was cited for its unique contribution to a better understanding of an ancient and honorable Persian musical instrument and its interaction with modes and ranges of music and its possibilities and constraints for creativity and improvisations. Charles T. Kurzman’s, Structure and Agency in the Iranian Revolution of 1979, University of California at Berkeley, was cited for its highly original contribution to a better understanding of “the role of agency in revolutions in general and the various religious and nonreligious agents in the Iranian revolution in particular.” The Committee did not award a prize for 1993.

AbstractThis thematic issue of Itinerario brings together a selection of papers presented at the international conference Beyond the Islamicate Chancery: Archives, Paperwork, and Textual Encounters across Eurasia, which was held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna in early October 2018. The conference was the third instalment in a series of collaborations between the Institute of Iranian Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Pittsburgh examining Islamicate cultures of documentation from different angles. Surviving precolonial and colonial chancery archives across Eurasia provide an unparalleled glimpse into the inner workings of connectivity across writing cultures and, especially, documentary practices. This particular meeting has attempted to situate what has traditionally been a highly technical discipline in a broader historical dialogue on the relationship between state power, the archive, and cultural encounters.
