Bactrian Documents from Northern Afghanistan Part III: Plates

£35.00

VOLUME III

Published 2012

Nicholas Sims-Williams

During the last twenty years, more than 150 documents in Bactrian, the language of pre-Islamic Afghanistan, have come to light. These documents, which have been deciphered and published by Nicholas Sims-Williams, provide unique information on the history and culture of Afghanistan and neighbouring lands in the 4th to the 8th centuries, as well as revealing a Middle Iranian language which was hardly known before.

The purpose of Part III of this volume is to illustrate the new documents as comprehensively as possible. In addition to 230 pages of photographs, the volume contains a complete catalogue of the documents.
