Abstract: The present article deals with a bilingual Persian-Sanskrit inscription reportedly found at Zalamkot (Lower Swat Valley, north-western Pakistan), which appears to be the oldest known dated monumental inscription in the New Persian language. Based on a new reading and interpretation of the Persian text, it is argued that the inscription belongs to one of the oldest mosques build by the Ghaznavids in the Indian Subcontinent. The inscription dates the completion of the mosque to 401 AH (1011 CE), i.e., ten years after the first Indian campaign of Sulṭan Mahmud of Ghazna. The inscription contains a hitherto unknown Indian toponym, reconstructed as *Jayapālanagara, where the mosque was located, and gives a date in the Sanskrit text using an otherwise unknown era.

Abstract: This note is a preliminary study of a hoard of 174 silver drachms of the late Sasanian king Khosrow II (r. 590/1-628 CE), recently acquired by the coin cabinet of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. 173 pieces in the hoard are issued at the mint of Bishapur (BYŠ) in Khosrow's thirteenth regnal year. The volume of die-links in this hoards produces a unique material basis for a quantitative study of coin production at a mint in late Sasanian Iran.

Summary: After defeating Ardawān IV in the battle of Hormozdgān in 224 AD, Ardashīr I, the founder of the Sasanian Empire, conducted a campaign to Mesopotamia, where he struggled with the kingdom of Hatra and the last Arsacid resistance in Ctesiphon. After conquering Ctesiphon in 226/7, he was officially crowned as the King of Kings of Iranians. A rather fictional narrative of Ardashīr’s western campaign has reached a number of early Islamic chroniclers like Ṭabarī through Ibn al-Kalbī, which has usually been neglected by modern scholars. In the present article, this account will be scrutinised to excavate its historical substrata.

Österreichischen Numismatikertag [Kärntner Museumsschriften 86], Klagenfurt am Wörthersee: Landesmuseum für Kärnten, 2019, S. 173-179.
Abstract: Bei den sowjetischen archäologischen Ausgrabungen von Marw kamen zum ersten Mal etliche Bronzemünzen des sasanidischen Königs Pērōz (457–484) zum Vorschein, auf deren Rückseite die Münzstättensigle AMW belegt ist. S. D. Loginov und A. B. Nikitin identifizierten diese Sigle mit der Provinzhauptstadt Āmol in Tabaristān. Die erste sichere Münzen vom Münzamt Āmol in Tabaristān sind jedoch während der ersten Regierung des Kawād I. (488–496) mit der Signatur AM geprägt. Laut historischen Quellen war Tabaristān seit dem Anfang der Sasanidenzeit bis zum Ende der Regierung des Pērōz ein fast unabhängiges Fürstentum unter der lokalen Herrscherfamilie der Gušnaspiden, die von Kawād gestürzt wurde. Die unter Pērōz mit der Münzstättensignatur AMW geprägte Bronzemünzen sind eigentlich bisher nur in Marw gefunden und daher kann man diese Münzstätte nicht in Tabaristān, sondern in einem gleichnamigen Ort in Zentralasien, östlich von Marw, lokalisieren. Aber warum prägte Pērōz Bronzemünzen in diesem Ort und wieso hatte diese Münzstätte nach der Regierung des Pērōz keine Aktivität mehr?

Abstract: The present article deals with the Persian personal name Suhrāb/Surxāb, its etymology, and its various forms recorded in the extant documents in Old, Middle, and New Iranian languages as well as in the Nebenüberlieferungen. Special emphasis is put on the attestation of the name Swrx’p in a recently found Sogdian fragment from Turfan and the name Suxrāb in the Middle Persian inscription of a Sasanian seal. Also, relevant evidence from late antique Syriac and Armenian sources and early mediaeval Persian and Arabic texts are collected and analysed in order to show the transformations of this name and its hypocoristic forms in different regions and times.

Abstract: This essay deals with the location of the Achaemenid and Sasanian temples of Anāhīd at Estakhr, the capital of Persis/Fārs province in southern Iran. Relevant texts from Achaemenid and Sasanian epigraphic sources, classical literature, and Islamic historical and geographical writings are interpreted, followed by a survey of the archaeological sites at Estakhr and its environs, which have been suggested by other scholars to be in connection with the temples of Anāhīd. In this survey, I will criticise a new speculative hypothesis on the location of the temples and argue where in fact these temples were located.

One of the peculiar features of Sogdian pictorial art (wall paintings, ossuaries, sculptures, etc.) is depiction of personages and scenes inspired by ancient Indo-Iranian mythical and epic motifs as well as illustration of banquet and battle scenes. Although many aspects of these scenes have been exhaustively scrutinised by scholars in the past decades, yet no sufficient study has been done on the gestures made by characters of these scenes, their origins, and their meanings in the Sogdian culture. Among these gestures are different finger gestures and arm-folding gesture (dastkaš). On the one hand, similar gestures can be found in Sasanian and Bactrian iconography (e.g. rock reliefs, coins, silverware, and paintings), which might have shared the same usages and meanings with the Sogdian ones. On the other hand, however, some Sogdian finger gestures are comparable to certain Buddhist mudras, which may show the influence of Buddhist culture in Sogdiana.
The aim of this paper is to collect and categorise the divergent hand gestures appearing in Sogdian iconography, and to identify their origins in a comparative study with the gestures attested in the iconographic evidence from neighbouring cultures. Also, the hitherto proposed interpretations of these gestures and their significance will be revisited in the light of the scarce, but remarkably informative evidence of certain literary sources, which have often been neglected in modern archaeological and art historical scholarship.
Рукопись Восточного факультета СПбГУ (Ms. O 174) – единственная доступная полная рукопись этого словаря. В отличие от двух других известных нам сохранившихся рукописей (Центральной библиотеки Тегеранского университета (Ms. 122) и библиотеки Малека (Ms. 404)), петербургская рукопись содержит пролог и эпилог словаря. Вероятно, для переписчика петербургской рукописи персидский язык не был родным, и он не владел им в полной мере. Поэтому весь текст, к сожалению, полон различных ошибок, прежде всего орфографических. Согласно колофону, рукопись была переписана 24 джумада аль-уля 1061 г. (= 15 мая 1651 г.), вероятно, в городе Мултан в Пенджабе.
Пролог – не что иное, как доксологический отрывок и не содержит информации об авторе и содержании произведения. В эпилоге, однако, содержится некоторая информация о структуре словаря и приводится причина, по которой статьи не сопровождаются поэтическими примерами. Текст заканчивается десятью стихотворными персидскими строками самого автора. В последнем стихе дата составления словаря упоминается в виде хронограммы, которую можно интерпретировать как 1011 г. (= 1602/3 г.). Эта дата совпадает со временем пребывания Аухади в Исфахане между 1009 и 1015 гг. (= 1600/1–1606/7 гг.).
