Lundysheva O., Maue D., Wille K. Miscellanea in the Brāhmī Script from the Berezovsky and Krotkov Collections (IOM, RAS) with an Appendix: ВФ-4190 // Written Monuments of the Orient. Vol. 7, No. 1(13), 2021. P. 3–70.
The main part of this article provides a complete edition (description, transliteration,
transcription, preliminary translation, annotation as well as the reproduction of
the photographs) of forty-two fragments in different languages, circulated along the
northern Silk Road, today in the territory of modern Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region
(PR China) in pre-Mongolian times: Sanskrit, Tocharian A/B, Old Uyghur [hereafter:
Uyghur]. Their common feature is the use of the standard North Turkestan Brāhmī
and its Tocharian and Uyghur varieties. In terms of content, the fragments include extracts
from Buddhist texts such as Abhidharmadīpavibhāṣaprabhāvṛtti, Prajñāpāramitā,
Prasādapratibhodbhava, Prātimokṣasūtra, Pravāraṇasūtra, Saṃyuktāgama, Suvarṇabhāsottamasūtra,
Udānavarga. There are also some Tocharian B document fragments.
Several of these texts are found on the back of Chinese scrolls. The Chinese texts have
been identified. Where possible, a reconstruction of the relevant section of the scroll has
been added. An introduction provides general background information. The lexis of the
edited manuscripts is given in concordances.
