| [Summary and review of Markoff's article in Russian, "Coins of the Arsidae"] (1889) | ||
| Revue Archéologique, 1889, no. Juillet-Decembre | ||
| Abstract:
This article is a summary and review of Markoff's article in Russian, "Coins of the Arsidae", Journal of the Russian Archaelogical Society (1892). The use of the Syro-Macedonian calendar in Iran in the Macedonian and Parthian periods is indisputable. The latter might have been in use in official circles and State documents. It was certainly used on Parthian coins with Greek letters. According to Drouin even the Macedonian months appear on the tetradrachms from the time of Phraates IV (37-4 BC) down to AD 190. | ||

| In: Panorama of world art | ||

| Abstract: Professor Du Ry, Director of the Historical Museum in Rotterdam, skillfully traces -- through their art -- the long history of the peoples of this region and of the related cultures in Anatolia and Palestine. From the first evidence of Mesolithic man around 9000 B.C., we are led through the early civilizations of Sumer, Lagash, and Ur to the almost legendary great kingdoms and empires of Nineveh, Babylon, Akkad, and Elam. We see how city-states grew uup along the Tigris and Euphrates and how, in spite of the incursions of successive waves of jealous warrior peoples-Kassites, Medes, Semites, Chaldeans- they absorbed their conquerors again and again, rising to flourish anew and gradually to coalesce into regional empires. Finally, with the fall of Babylon in the mid-sixth century B.C., the whole area was united into the mighty Persian Empire of Cyrus the Great. It was under Cyrus and his Achaemenid successors that art reached its highest peak, supremely expressed in teh breathtaking ruins and treasures of Persepolisl. Even the onslaught of the Greeks under Alexander the Great, and the determined attempts of the Romans to set up a permanent client state there, failed to deprive the art of the area of its own special character, as is convincingly shown by the later Parthian and Sassanian renaissances. The combination of Professor Du Ry's absorbing and instructive text with a superb selection of illustrations makes this a book of outstanding importance on the art of the ancient Orient.

| Abstract:
Phoenix Paperbacks: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2004. A classic novel set in Ancient Rome by a bestselling author - two Gauls join the doomed Roman army marching into what is now Iraq. Camul and Acco were both Gauls of the Pyrenees living at the time of Julius Caesar, both young and proud of their noble descent; Acco was also an Ovate training to be a Druid. In avenging the girl he loved Acco brought upon himself the curse of the Goddess; and in consequence both men left home to join the Roman army. The story tells of their adventures and travels which took them to Rome and across the greater part of the Empire as far as its Eastern rim. Duggan includes a brilliant account of the fate of Marcus Crassus's expedition of seven Roman legions and Gallic cavalry which set out to plunder Seleucia and met with the Parthian horse-bowmen under their leader the Surenas. [Publisher] "WINTER QUARTERS covers a remarkable amount of ground, and covers it convincingly...Mr Duggan throws the strengths and weaknesses of the era into sharp relief...damnably skilful" [Sunday Times] | ||

| Abstract:
Dictionary of Manichaean Parthian and Middle Persian. This book should prove immensely practical since the entries are equipped with information about the pertaining inflexional forms - and the places of the fragments where each form is to be found. The manuscripts are identified by the numbers (and the references to the place where every word (with the exception of some most frequent words) is found by manuscript number + r(ecto) / v(erso) + number of column if applicable + number of line) which are those of the digital archive and also the index, so one can check what is written there.

| In: Berliner Turfantexte 24 | ||

| Abstract: The ‘Hymns to the Living Soul’ presents texts in the Iranian languages Middle Persian and Parthian from the Turfan Collection in Berlin together with two fragments from the Otani Collection in Kyoto and one from St. Petersburg. The texts belong to the Manichaean community in Central Asia of a millennium ago which used Middle Persian and Parthian hymns in its rituals and celebrations. These hymns are predominantly in Parthian. They focus on a key area of Manichaean theology, the imprisonment of the divine principle light in the material world and the need for the Manichaean Chosen Ones to free this light, as they free themselves, in order to send it back to the paradise of light to where the Chosen Ones will eventually follow it. This edition gathers all the relevant published and unpublished texts (lists of hymns, hymns and ‘cantillated’ hymns as well as some possibly related hymns) and presents them in diplomatic edition together with a transcription and translation into English on facing pages. Unlike in previous editions great attention is paid to the formal structure of the hymns. An extensive introduction, notes, a complete glossary and facsimiles of fragments not previously reproduced accompany the edition. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract: Malgré la multiplication des recherches archéologiques, de nombreux aspects de la civilisation et de l'histoire parthe demeurent mal connus, faute de textes. Il existe pourtant une source d'information abondante et relativement accessible sur cette période : la monnaie. Les rois parthes ont en effet commencé à frapper l'argent de bonne heure. Ces émissions se sont ensuite prolongées jusqu'à la fin de leur dynastie. Elles ont depuis longtemps attiré l'attention des savants par leur apparence, mais aussi parce qu'elles fournissent des indications précieuses – parfois difficiles à interpréter – sur l'histoire de cet empire.

| Abstract:
The aim of this book is to search for evidence of Oriental opposition to Hellenic imperialism, to discover its causes and the ways it was advocated and justified, to show what forms it took, and to find out what effects it had, both immediate and more far-reaching. The resistance was justified almost universally in religious terms, especially from the point of view of the Oriental theology about kingship. Kings were believed to be vice-regents of the great high gods, of Ahura Mazdah, of Yahweh, or of Marduk, or even to be gods themselves, as in Egypt. The law these kings enforced was divine law; therefore, Macedonian and Greek imperialism was an attack on the all-ruling gods of the East. The Eastern regions examined are: Persia, the other parts of Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, Jewish Palestine, the settlements of Jews elsewhere in the ancient world, and Egypt. Each of these regions or peoples had its own unique culture, different in greater or lesser degree from all the other civilizations in the Near East. [Publisher] | ||
