| Abstract: Trading along the Silk Roads obviously involved an administrative aspect. Referring to present-day practices, it would appear profitable to do some research into ancient techniques in this subject. Sealing with clay seals (developed from cuneiform writing on clay tablets) is an extremely ancient practice. The clay seal was commonly used in the Hellenistic world and in the Achaemenid period in Iran. Recent findings at Gebukhi have brought to light some Parthian materials which were very rare before this discovery. Sassanid materials are abundant. The interpretation of these seals is then discussed (label of origin, transit taxes, sender, recipient, etc.). The reader should refer to the Ibn Al-Balkli texts quoted (thirteenth century). It has been established that these seals, in most cases Sassanid, were attached to documents (parchment, papyrus, textile, etc.). -27- The author then analyses the lacing orifices piercing the seals. Two types of systems (A and B) are reviewed with a detailed explanation of their packaging technique or means of attachment to goods or the document which confirm or contradict the Ibn Al Balkli texts. At the end of the paper, the author mentions the possibilities of the existence of wax or even lead seals. [UNESCO bibliographic database] | ||

| Abstract: Fiction: historical novel. "In all matters of history this book has attempted accuracy in its fictive representation of the dress, customs and institutions of the peoples presented. The accounts of the battles of Carrhae and Praaspa are in accordance with the historical results, and the disastrous invasion and rout of Marcus Antonius is depicted as it occured. The description of the Roman campaign against Otho was typical of the battles waged against the Germani along the Rhine frontier." [Publisher] | ||
| Arrows against steel : the history of the bow (1975) | ||
| New York: Mason/Charter, 1975, 238 p. | ||
| Abstract:
Chapt 11, "The Parthians versus Rome" is emminently readable, but Hurley's use of Rawlinson and other outdated sources is a detractor. Arrows against steel is the written history of the bow as a weapon of war. Few people realize the bow and arrow has been the greatest killer of men in history-greater than the machine gun, the cannon, and even the atomic bomb. It's use throughout history revolutionized warfare and taught the importance of both fire discipline and mobility. This book is the product of 40 years of research by Mr. Hurley. Some of the chapters in this book are the origins of the bow, types and modifications of bows, the arrow as a precision missile, the principles of war, the schools of war, the first appearances of the bow in war, the Persians: a study in retrogression, Macedonia: birth of the dragoons, the problem of mounted war, the testing of the theories of war as done by the Carthaginians, the Parthians, the Romans, and the Huns. The Byzantine abandonment of the bow, the bow in the crusades, the feudal knight: end of an era, the Mongol horse-archers, the English longbowmen,and the Plains Indian. The evaluation of the crossbow, longbow, and composite bow. The infantry archer-the tactical problems, and military tactics of modern war. [Publisher] | ||

| Oxford: E Typographeo Clarendoniano, 1760, 2 ed., 580 p. | ||
| Abstract:
Second edition edited by George Costard [1710-1782] and Thomas Hunt [1696-1774] of this account of early religions and religious beliefs in Persia, including a life of Zoroaster (first published in 1700 with title: Historia religionis veterum Persarum). Hyde's most important and most celebrated work. It was a first attempt to treat the subject in a scholarly fashion, and abounds in oriental learning. This second edition was published by Dr. Thomas Hunt (1696-1774) in 1760. It was "..the first attempt to correct from Oriental sources the errors of the Greek and Roman historians who had described the religion of the ancient Persians." [Encycl. Britannica, 11th Ed.] Hyde was professor of Hebrew and Arabic at Oxford, and for a long period, during the reigns of Charles II, James II, and William III, held the post of interpreter and secretary in oriental languages to the government. Hyde's conclusions were attacked by the Abbé Foucher in a memoir read before the Paris Academy of Sciences in 1761. Anquetil Duperron, while admiring Hyde's zeal as a student in a field then practically untouched by scholars and acknowledging much indebtedness, also censured him for having gained his information from late Muhammedan writers, while neglecting the early Pehlevi sources" (D.N.B.).

| Abstract:
Translation of: Zoku Watakushi no Bukky¯o-kan, translated by Burton Watson. The story of the introduction of Buddhism to China is a fascinating accounbt of the meeting of the two great civilizations of Asia: India, the land of the Buddha's birth and the homeland of the religion; and China, where Buddhism was transformed into a world religion, and from where the Buddha's teaching was eventually brought to Korea and Japan. In this volume, Daisaku Ikeda continues his narration of the unfolding of Buddhist history. He begins with the introduction of Buddhism into China by traders and monks traveling over the Silk Route through Central Asia. After discussing the early translations of the Buddhist scriptures made by monks from Parthia and Sogdiana, the subject turns to the career and achievements of the great Kumarajiva, famed for his excellent renditions of the sutras and philosophical treatises that form the core of East Asian Buddhist literature – among them the Lotus Sutra. The travels of Chinese monks in search of the Buddhist Law in India and the mass of teachings brought back is presented with great lucidity. Special emphasis is given to faith in the Lotus Sutra and the inception of the T'ien-t'ai School. In clear and simple language, the careers and major works of the great masters Hui-ssu, Chih-I, and Chanjan are outlined. The story closes with the official persecutions of the T'ang dynasty and the failure of the Buddhist establishment to meet this final challenge. Study aids such as lists of technical terms, Buddhist texts, and proper names in Chinese, English, and Japanese make the book a useful tool for the student of Buddhism. | ||
