Abstract:

The Talyshi language is one of the Northwestern Iranian languages,
alongside Gilaki, Mazandarani, Gorani, Zazaki, and others. It is
spoken in the southwestern Caspian region on both sides of the
Iran-Azerbaijan border. Researchers distinguish three main dialects:
Nothern (primarily spoken in the Republic of Azerbaijan and adjacent
areas of Iran's Gilan and Ardabil provinces), Central and Southern
(both spoken in the aforementioned provinces).
This publication includes manuscripts collected by B.A. Dorn in the
second half of the 19th century, which were discovered by Igbal Abilov
in 2012. At present, these manuscripts, along with the materials of
P.F. Riss, are the earliest known written records in the Northern
dialect of the Talyshi language.
The aim of the series "Bibliotheca Talyshica", published by the Talysh
National Academy, is to introduce into scientific circulation
previously unpublished written monuments of the Talysh language,
treatises and studies of Talysh scholars who lived in the period from
the Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century, previously unpublished
and newly discovered in the archives of Talysh studies works of the
widest spectrum - from linguistics to archeology, from geography to
anthropology, etc.
The manuscripts collected by B. A. Dorn represent the most
comprehensive corpus of Talysh-language texts (in the northern
dialect) available to date. Among them are poems that appear to have
been written before the 19th century, a translation of the work Kanz
al-Asrar from Mazandarani into Talysh, as well as a Russian-Talysh
dictionary (the first of its kind) and notes on Talysh grammar, both
compiled with B. A. Dorn’s direct involvement. This edition also
includes Dorn’s travel notes recorded during his visit to the Talysh
region.
