Abstract:

The Grammatik des Westmitteliranischen (Parthisch und Mittelpersisch) (grammar
of the Western Middle Iranian language, Parthian and Middle Persian)
represents the first attempt to plausibly and practically assess all aspects
of both the Middle Persian and Parthian languages based on a concerted
approach. An overview of the available material is followed by a description
of the fonts utilized along with chapters on phonology, morphology and syntax.
The use of a combined approach is particularly effective due to the
approximately one thousand years of history shared by these neighboring and
closely related languages. The presentation is comprehensible and the language
in the documents clearly marked. An extensive chapter on syntax presents the
documents in the form of a clear transcription, with the original documents
(which have been transliterated) listed in a reference section and thoroughly
indexed. This volume will be essential to researchers and students of Iranian
linguistics, cultural and religious history, Manichaeologists and scholars of
Central Asian and Indo-European Studies. (Austrian Academy of Sciences Press
2014)
