Budizm; tarihi, edebiyatı, uygulamaları, ekolleri, gelenek ve mefhumlarıyla Hindistan kökenli felsefi inanış sistemleri arasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ortaya çıkmasını takip eden süre boyunca Hindistan’daki siyasi oluşumlar tarafından uzun bir süre desteklenmiş olan Budizm, yazınsal kaynaklarını oluşturmaya başlamış ve böylece inanırları tarafından Buddha öğretisinin temelleri kayda geçirilmiştir. Milat sıralarına yaklaşıldıkça siyasi oluşumlardan beklediği desteği bulamayan Budizm, Asya’nın içlerine, doğusuna ve güneyine doğru yayılmıştır. Bunlar arasında Orta Asya ve İpek Yolu güzergâhı Budizm için önemli bir yayılma alanı olmuştur. Budizm, bu bölgedeki yerel inanışların etkisi altında yeni felsefi yorumlar geliştirmiş ve zamanla Budizm içerisindeki mevcut ekollere ilaveten yeni alt ekoller de ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu alt ekollerin bir kısmı yalnızca yazınsal kaynaklar itibarıyla Sanskritçe temellere dayanmaktadır. Bunlar daha evvelki ekollerden bir bakıma farklılık arz eden dinî kabulleri, ruhani liderleri, kozmolojisi ve mitolojisiyle Budizm’in tarihsel gelişim sürecinde taraftar bulmuştur. Tarihî ve efsanevi kişiliklerle örülü Budizm, Uygurlar arasında da kendine inanır bulmuş ve Budizm’in kutsal metinleri bu dile çevrilmiştir. Bu bağlamda yazı, konusunu muhtelif Budist kişiliklerden alan, bugüne kadar neşredilmemiş ve hangi metne ait olduğu belirlenememiş Eski Uygurca dokuz fragmanın filolojik neşri üzerinedir. Çalışmada ele alınan fragmanlar bugün Berlin Turfan Koleksiyonu’nda saklanmaktadır ve arşiv numaraları şöyledir: Mainz 261 (T III M 239/501), Mainz 267 (T II 852), Mainz 366 (T III M 239/505), Mainz 856 (T II D 29), U 2502 (T II S / T II 634), U 3525 (o. F.), U 5074 (T III M 131; T III M 131.501), U 5113 (o. F.) ve U 5158 (o. F.). Bu yazı, bahsi geçen fragmanların yazı çevirimini, harf çevirisini, aktarımını, açıklamalarını, dizin ve sözlüğünü içermektedir.

Old Uyghur language emerged as a result of translating religious texts. Additionally, there are also written works and fragments that are categorized as non-religious. The collection of texts and fragments includes letters, legal documents, celebration records, calendars, and medical texts. Medical texts are based on ancient medical traditions from different cultures, such as folk medicine, Assyrian, Indian, and Chinese. These texts include the names of plants, animals, minerals, drugs, diseases, treatments, and medical interventions. The earliest research on Old Uyghur medical texts involved the editing of texts. Subsequent to this, there were studies focused on lexicon, encompassing plant names, drug compositions, and related subjects. Furthermore, studies in the field of medical history were conducted to examine the development of these texts in Central Asian Turkish medicine. It is worth noting that Old Uyghur medical texts have largely been published and analyzed for lexical and medical history up to this day. This article presents four previously unpublished fragments on Old Uyghur medicine. The fragments, known as Mainz 353 (T II D 177-1), U 116 (T II K x 12), U 238 (T II D 177; Glas: T II D 177 g), and U 239 (T II D 177; Glas: T II D 177 X), are now part of the Berlin Turfan Collection. This paper presents the transcription, transliteration, Turkish translation, explanations, and dictionary of the aforementioned fragments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This short article is the publication of a hieratic ostracon (O. SES 23) from the Ramesside Period in the collection of the Finnish Egyptological Society that preserves parts of the title, the exordium, and the first paragraph of The Instruction of a Man for His Son. The provenance and the exact acquisition history of the ostracon are unknown, but indirect evidence suggests that it derives from Deir el-Medina and was acquired in Luxor by the late Professor of Egyptology in Finland, Rostislav Holthoer, in the early 1970s. A textual variant in line three, also attested in another ostracon from Deir el-Medina, suggests that the first paragraph of the composition does not juxtapose the life of a scribe with that of a farmer, as is commonly believed, but instead with that of a soldier.

In the treasure of Persian manuscripts, there are many epic and religious verses on the subject of the biography, beneficences, and battles of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and Imam Ali (AS). Saqib's Masnavi (Hamleyeh Heydari) attributed to Mohammad Hossein Saqib Isfahani, is an epic and religious epopee, a unique copy of which is kept in the National Library of Iran by number 15752. The manuscript of this unknown epopee was composed in 1255 AH; however, due to the loss of the first pages and its preface, the name of the composer, the title of the poem, the date, and the reason for its composition are not known precisely. The current research, while introducing this manuscript, seeks to answer two research questions: What is the significance of Saqib's Masnavi from the point of view of literature, rhetoric, and terminology? How can its attribution to the composer be proven? The edition and examination of this manuscript show that Saqib's Masnavi is one of the most significant and precious religious poems, which, in addition to its religious worth, deserves attention in terms of literature, language, and the inclusion of rare ancient words of Persian texts.

We present ALMA, a new research project aimed at investigating the interaction between language and knowledge practices from AD 1100 to 1500. Our primary question is how Medieval Italian, French, Occitan, Catalan, and Spanish developed into languages of knowledge and scholarship (German Wissen(schafts)sprachen) in permanent opposition to and exchange with the predominant Latin (but also with Arab, Greek, and Hebrew). Focusing on two domains, medicine and law, the project combines linguistics, text philology, and the history of science with the Digital Humanities and ontology engineering. ALMA will create two multi-lingual, domain-specific text corpora by integrating text editions of hitherto unedited manuscripts and incunabula, and digitized printed editions. Our corpus-linguistic exploration of the ALMA corpora will provide the basis for lexical-semantic studies that analyze emerging knowledge networks and the depth of their linguistic representations. We hypothesize that language evolution and the development of more complex linguistic structures will allow for measuring the impact of knowledge practices on medieval vernacular languages. We will trace the dissemination of lexical material across languages, language varieties, cultural spaces, and periods. This will enable us to follow specific vernacular communication channels. We will use cutting-edge technologies to compile, publish, and share our findings, and to model them in the form of historicized ontologies and Linked Data. Our onomasiological, ontology-driven approach will result in the creation of domain models that can be re-used within the Semantic Web. This has great potential to be relevant for researchers from different disciplines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Old Uyghur Buddhist literature contains many works in different genres and subjects. Among them, the texts of confession have an important place. According to Buddhist belief, confession texts were produced to purify non-clerical people from the sins they had committed in their current and previous lives. There are several confession texts in the Old Uyghur literature, such as Ksanti kılguluk nom bitig [The Book on How One Should Practice Confessions], is associated with the Buddhist corpus. In addition, there are also fragments on confession in Old Uyghur that cannot be determined due to the lack of context, which the text is a part of today. In this regard, this paper focuses on Old Uyghur fragments that have not been published before and whose main subject is the confession of sins. All the fragments included in the article are preserved in the Berlin Turfan Collection with the following archival numbers: U 2236 (T 1527; T I), U 2315 (T 1504; T I), U 2425 (T II537), U 3009 (T II Toyoq; T). II T 501), U 313 (T IIY 59; TIIY 59.500), U 4866 (T ID 638), U 5350 (T I). This study consists of these seven fragments' transcription and transliteration, translation into Turkish, notes, and dictionary including the index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Old Uyghur developed on the basis of religious and non-religious literature. While non-religious literature constitutes civil documents related to daily life, religious literature mainly constitutes the translation of literary sources related to circles such as Buddhism, Manichaeism and Nestorian Christianity. Among these, Buddhism has the largest place when it comes to the translation of religious literature. In fact, Buddhism does not take place among the Uyghurs with a single school. Northern Buddhism, or Mahāyāna school, in other words, and many schools, whether they originated in India or not, are traced in Buddhist Uyghur literature. Tibetan Buddhism is also a school that has a place in the Buddhist Uyghur literature, whose existence was witnessed especially in the last period of the Qocho Uyghur Khanate [850-1250] with its literary sources. Tibetan Buddhism, which is essentially based on Vajrayāna or Tantric Buddhism and blended with the Tibetan local religion Bön, has found its place in Tibet and Mongolia today. At this point, Sitatapatrādhāra?ī, which is also the subject of this paper, is a text written in this tradition. In this paper, three fragments identified as belonging to the Old Uyghur Sitātapatrādhāra?ī and preserved today in the Berlin Turfan Collection with archival numbers U 2250 (T I [544]), U 2251 (T I [545]) and U 2252 (T I [546]) will be examined. The philological edition of these fragments, which have not been published until now, will be carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lestár Gyulaffi (1556–1606?) was a secretary of the Greater Chancery of the Transylvanian Principality. Today, he is best-known as a writer of historical notes and commentaries. These records are considered an excellent source and therefore used by scholars researching the age. As the texts have not been recently published, researchers usually use the 19th-century text edition. However, looking at the original documents preserved in the ELTE University Library in Budapest, one realizes that Gyulaffi’s writings do not form a compact work, the 19th-century edition is largely a constructed text. In the present paper I will present what additional information can be obtained from the examination of the manuscripts.

How does Digital Mappa, a browser-based annotation tool, fit into the current landscape of Virtual Research Environments? How is an intuitive WYSIWYG graphical user interface suited for simple (scholarly) editions and image-text representations? What about involving different users via crowdsourcing? For this review, we took three distinct perspectives (user, teacher, and backend admin) and tested the tool for text annotation but furthermore for linking images with text. Digital Mappa proves to be a stable, not-so-easy-to-set-up tool that covers a lot of ground concerning annotation and image linking. Subsuming, we describe a mature system that allows for easy editing, suitable in the classroom. Critically, it has been assessed that the tool refrains from standards (such as TEI XML) and lacks capabilities to involve larger groups (e.g. for crowdsourcing).

Nozhat-Nameh Alaie is one of the most important ancient encyclopedias in the history of Persian literature that, due to its specific nature, is considered a multi-competent text and exposes the reader to a diverse number of genera. This text is composed of the knowledge of zoology, mineralogy, agriculture, astrology, history, geography, mythology and epic, talisman, insight, and so forth, which have been mixed with different popular customs and beliefs giving it a close resemblance to the Persian fantasy literature. Contrary to its significance, this text has been edited by Farhang Jahanpour and has been published without any endnote section. Despite using original and reliable manuscripts, this edition suffers from a lot of shortcomings. The present study takes a descriptive-analytical approach to edit and report a number of words, idioms, and phrases of Nozhat-Nameh Alaie. The main objective of the study is to edit a number of positions from the book on the basis of the original editor’s referred manuscripts, in order to further explain and analyze them with reference to other similar and corresponding texts. The results of the study show that although the original editor had access to dependable copies of manuscripts, lacking a definite methodology and criteria in editing the text, on one hand, and paying scares attention to the various knowledge of the text and its cultural backbone on the other hand, have led to many errors and shortcomings in Nozhat-Nameh Alaie. However, by reflecting on the manuscripts and referring to parallel and proper similar resources, these failures are rectifiable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Samuel Reuss, a precursor of modern Slovak ethnography from the first half of the 19th c., collected numerous Slovak folk tales on which he wrote detailed commentaries in German. They include numerous quotations from various sources, e.g. Classics, historiographical and geographical works etc. thus proving Reuss’ tremendous encyclopedic knowledge. Both folk tales and commentaries are contained in three hitherto unpublished manuscripts known as Codexy revúcke. The present article examines Reuss’ quotations from the point of view of their critical edition and differentiates between three categories: 1) quotations whose sources are correctly mentioned; 2) correct quotations but with incorrect reference to their sources: 3) paraphrases of sources. The article discusses possibilities of identifying the sources from which Reuss quoted and suggests possible solutions to presenting the quotations in a critical edition.

The paper presents the author's ongoing doctoral thesis: it is a philological edition of an old Romanian manuscript dictionary of the Transylvanian School, while it, also, provides a sample of the transcription. It briefly discusses the history of the manuscript and its contents, and it argues that, albeit difficult for a number of technical reasons, the paternity of the dictionary is certain. It, also, describes the dictionary in lexicographical terms, and discusses in footnotes each peculiarity encountered in the sampled manuscript. The paper provides a solution to an enigma in the Romanian philology: the name of the dictionary, which is nowhere explicitly given, yet, the analysis of the word-list supports the hypothesis that Ștefan Crișan himself might have opted for the wording Cuvântariu.

Old Uyghur literature is comprised of religious works on Buddhism, Manichaeism and Nestorianism. Buddhism consists in the biggest part among these religious works. The works on many schools of Buddhism have been translated into Old Uyghur. One of them is Buddhāvataṁsaka-sūtra, which is the main literary source of Huayan school. Huayan is a school that made significant progress in the Sui (581-618) and Tang Dynasty (618-907) periods in China and has no equivalence in Indian Buddhism. This school not only stayed within the borders of China but also expanded towards Korea and Japan. Huayan school is known as Hwaŏm in Korean and Kegon in Japanese. This paper is about the edition of the four fragments from Buddhāvataṁsaka-sūtra's commentary in Old Uyghur. These fragments are protected at the Turfan Collection in Berlin Brandenburg Sciences and Humanities, with the archive numbers U 1308 ([T I] 3), U 1372 ([T I] 4), Mainz 821-1 (fragment a) (T I D) and U 1381 ([T I L] 11). Buddhāvatasaka-sūtra's commentary in Old Uyghur constitutes the 20th chapter of a compilation of the texts belonging to the Faxiang school of Buddhism, and the fragments edited in this paper constitute the 32nd, 33rd, 34th and 49th sheets of the same chapter. In this study, a short introduction to the perception of Huayan school outside China will be given first, then the transcription and transliteration of aforementioned Old Uyghur fragments, translations into Turkish, notes related to the text and glossary with an analytical index will be presented.

Old Uyghur literature is comprised of translations of the religious text of the Silk Road religions such as Buddhism, Manichaeism and East Syriac Christianity. Faxiang school (法相宗) developed on the basis of Mahāyāna school, which is one of the two basic concepts of Buddhism, is the subject of this paper. Faxiang school was founded by Xuanzang (玄奘), who lived between the dates 602-664, and the main principles of this school are based on the work of Xuanzang's Cheng weishi lun (成 唯識 論) 'Discourse on the Theory of Consciousness Only'. This paper is about the edition of a fragment preserved with the archive number Mainz 785 (T II Y 52) at the Turfan Collection of the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The fragment in question constitutes the 19th leaf of the third leaf of the work, which contains texts related to the Faxiang school of Buddhism. While the front page of Mainz 785 (T II Y 52) has 24 lines, the back page of this fragment contains 25 Old Uyghur lines. This study contains the transcription and transliteration of the aforementioned Old Uyghur fragment, translations into Turkish, notes and a glossary with an analytical index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Tale of Yusof and Zoleykhā appears as part of a religious epic poem, the Bereshit-nāma (Book of Genesis), by the fourteenth-century Judæo-Persian poet Shāhin. Composed in 1358–59, in classical Persian with an admixture of Hebraisms and written in Hebrew characters, this tale was enormously popular within Persian-speaking Jewish communities and was frequently copied on its own. The paper focuses on two episodes from this story: Yusof's marriages to Zoleykhā and to Osnat (Asenath). Shāhin was active in the late Il-khanid and early post-Mongol periods, when new forms of patronage of literary and artistic production emerged seeking to blend different cultural worlds. The poet indeed fashioned unique amalgams of Jewish and Perso-Islamic traditions, both in form and content. The two episodes constitute small case studies for exploring Shāhin's diverse array of sources and for determining the thematic and structural ramifications of this fusion. The paper pinpoints how Shāhin accommodated and adapted Jewish and Islamic materials and demonstrates that, though Jewish, the poet firmly ensconces himself in a Persianate cultural sphere.

In terms of containing both religious and non-religious works, Old Uyghur represents an important branch of historical Turkic languages. Its religious works are translations of texts related to deverse religous environments such as Buddhism, Manihaism and Nestorian Christianity. The largest share in terms of literary sources among these religions belongs to Buddhism. Buddhism has an important place in Old Uyghur literature with its many schools and many works related to Buddhist literature. This paper is about the edition of three fragments related to Old Uyghur of a commentary of Cheng weishi lun. Fragments edited here are preserved at the Turfan Collection, in the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences under the archive numbers Mainz 802-1 (fragment b) (T I D 1), Mainz 802-2 (fragment b) (T I D 2) and U 1342. These fragments form the 2nd and 3rd leaves of Old Uighur translation of a commentary of Cheng weishi lun, which is the 21st chapter of an Old Uyghur handwritten manuscript consisting of at least thirty chapters in the Berlin Turfan Collection. In this paper, it will be presented the transcription and transliteration of Old Uyghur text, translation into Turkish, textual notes, and a glossary with analytical index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the project of an on-line atlas of Old Italian based on the corpus of the Opera del Vocabolario Italiano. The «points» on the atlas are the places which have testi significativi («significant texts», i.e. those which better represent the local variety). The forms are provided with different types of information: lexical (belonging to a lexical item of the corpus), morphosyntactic (inflexional categories) and historical-phonological (e.g. relationship of legno with Latin L‑, tonic Ǐ, -GN‑, -U). The atlas will help both the editor and the linguist: the first will find a grid which will assist him in localizing texts, the latter will have a tool to observe geolinguistic patterns or to reconstruct the system he is studying.
