Abstract:

On the basis of a thorough philological-linguistic study, the book aims
primarily at reintegrating the complex whole of the various phenomena that
have contributed to creating what in modern scholarship runs under the name of
Christian Sogdian Gospel Lectionary E5, a set of manuscript fragments
preserved in the Turfan Collection in Berlin. The study applies a precise
methodology that puts various disciplinary approaches on the same level in
order to relate and interconnect textual, material and historical-cultural
aspects. Specific codicological characteristics are considered in correlation
with the broader manuscript tradition to which the fragments belong. The
discussion of the Gospel lectionary leads to reflections on the transmission,
reception and development of a specific body of religious knowledge, namely
that of the Church of the East. The exploration of linguistic phenomena takes
also into consideration the processes at work in the missionary history of the
Church of the East in Central Asia between Late Antiquity and the early Middle
Ages in the Oasis of Turfan in present-day Xinjiang, China. The book therefore
addresses Iranologists as well as students of Eastern Christianity and of
manuscript cultures. (Austrian Academy of Sciences Press 2016)
