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

From this fragment, too, only four lines are preserved. It exhibits the strophe numbers 11 and 12, and the metre is 4x14 syllables in a 7/7-rhythm. If part of the Krodhavarga it should be from a second section.
n1 Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 74 fn. 6.

Remarks

In one frame with THT 38 und THT 39. Small fragment from the centre of a leaf.
