Edition of Sogdian epistolary fragments discovered in Turfan as well as a wide-ranging comparative analysis of Sogdian epistolary formulae. An important part of the Sogdian corpora which have come down to us are epistolary texts: both the earliest substantial Sogdian documents (the 'Ancient Letters') and the only substantial textual corpus found in Sogdiana itself (the Mugh documents). The Turfan collections of (especially) Berlin, Kyoto, and St. Petersburg, also preserve a number of letter fragments. Altogether, these texts attest different phases of a Sogdian epistographical tradition stretching over some seven centuries. The edition and analysis of both well-preserved and fragmentary texts can contribute to efforts to reconstruct parts of those traditions - and eventually connect them with those of Central Asia and Iran more broadly.

The Christian Sogdian manuscripts in Syriac script which were found at a Central Asian outpost of the "Church of the East", the monastery at Bulayïq in the Turfan oasis, and are now preserved in the Berlin Turfan collection, include a large number of fragments in a distinctive handwriting which have been catalogued under the designation "E28". Through his choice of texts to translate or to copy the scribe demonstrates his interest in the practice and traditions of monasticism, originating with St Anthony and the other "Desert Fathers", the solitaries and monks of the Egyptian desert, and transplanted to Mesopotamia and Iran, according to legend, by Mar Awgen (Eugenius). In addition to works whose Syriac sources have been identified, such as passages from the spiritual writings of Semon d-Taibuteh, Isaac of Nineveh and Dadiso' Qatraya, as well as from the life of Mar Awgen, "E28" contains a number of unidentified texts, also no doubt translated from Syriac, many of which deal with aspects of the ascetic life. This volume contains an edition and translation of all the texts, most of them previously unpublished, together with a commentary, glossary and 35 plates. An appendix contains critical editions of some of the parallel Syriac passages.
