This article introduces an Old Uighur document, which had been excavated
seemingly in the Bezeklik Caves and was recently re-discovered in the Turfan Museum. It
is supposed to be a receipt for the payment of the poll tax (qupčir) of the Mongol period,
and to be closely related to the Old Uighur administrative orders of the St. Petersburg
collection (SI 6544).
On 19 October 2021, the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts (Asiatic Museum) and Saint Petersburg Datsan Gunzechoinei will hold a roundtable meeting “Buddhism in Contemporary Russia”.
