Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

Commentary

Remarks

Lines a7 and b1 are missing. Sieg and Siegling 1953: 64 note that this fragment is shorter (smaller in width) than the other leaves of the manuscript, and written in another hand. It may nevertheless belong to the manuscript in view of the similar line distance and string hole space.
The first akṣara of the leaf number is unclear and could also be 90.
