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

Philological commentary

This leaf includes ca. strophes 28-34 of the Drohavarga (XIV) in a 4x25-syllable-metre (rhythm = 10 [or 5/5]/8/7). Strophe numbers are missing, but from the leaf count recto and verso side can be determined; this leaf immediately follows THT 34. The translation is even less secure than that of THT 34.

Remarks

Glass cover broken, remnant of the left side of leaf 194, damage similar to THT 34.
