  • Oral Character of Middle Persian Literature – New Perspective
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXVII, Z. 1, 2014, (s. 151–168) MATEUSZ MIKOŁAJ KŁAGISZ Oral Character of Middle Persian Literature – New Perspective Abstract From the very beginning oral transmission of texts played a significant role in the Iranian world. It became a main topic of several works by Bailey (1943), Boyce (1957, 1968), de Menasce (1973), Skjærvø (1384hš), Smurzyński (2006) and Tafazzoli (1378hš). In my paper I try to depict the problem of orality in Middle Persian literature once again, but this time using some tools developed by Ong. On the other hand, it is highly likely that at least the “obscurity” is addressed to works of the 9th century that also contain material which at one time was transmitted orally, but which themselves were products of a written culture. Their style is difficult because the authors wrote in long, complicated sentences. Most of these sentences are in no way adopted to be transmitted by heart. Key words Middle Persian, literature, orality, influence In this article I would like to deal with the problem of orality and its influence on the formal structure of written Middle Persian texts. I use the adjective ‘written’ deliberately because most of Middle Persian texts, that we have at our disposal now, existed originally as unwritten and only later were written down. Paradoxically, it means that we are able to gain some information about orality literature only from some printed sources. The question of orality (and literacy) was elaborated by different Orientalists, but in my paper I am using Walter Jackson Ong’s method of analysis of texts existing first of all as acoustic waves.1 From this point of view, my paper is situated within the framework of today’s research on pre-Islamic literature in Iran but offers a new perspective.

  • Introduction to Pahlavi by Prods Oktor Skjærvø
    INTRODUCTION TO PAHLAVI BY PRODS OKTOR SKJÆRVØ © Prods Oktor Skjærvø 2007 Cambridge, Mass. May 4, 2008-11:22 PM May 4, 2008-11:22 PM INTRODUCTION: THE IRANIANS, THEIR LANGUAGES, AND THEIR LITERATURES THE IRANIANS “Iranian” is a term of many meanings, but for our purposes we shall define it as pertaining to peoples who at some point in history spoke languages belonging to the Iranian language family. The Iranian language family itself belongs to the Indo-European language family,1 within which its closest relatives are the Indo-Aryan languages, more specifically the Old Indic language of the Vedas, the oldest of which is the Rigveda.2 Iranian peoples did not enter history until the 9th century B.C.E., when the Persians were for the first time mentioned in the Assyrian annals. After this there are scattered references to Persians, Medes, and Scythians in the Mesopotamian texts. Then, in the 7th and 6th centuries, the Iranians finally made a big splash in world history, when the Median king Cyaxares destroyed Assur (614) and Niniveh (612), but were redeemed in the eyes of the world when King Cyrus the Great in 549 overthrew the last of the Median kings, establishing the Achaemenids on the throne, and allowing the Jews to return home from their Babylonian captivity. OLD AND MIDDLE IRANIAN LANGUAGES Avestan and Old Persian, both spoken several centuries before our era, are the two oldest Iranian languages known. Among other Old Iranian languages are Median, spoken by the Medes, who ruled western Iran before the Achaemenids, and Scythian, spoken by the Northwest-Iranian tribes from which the Alans and the modern Ossetes are descended.3 Avestan is the language of the Avesta, the holy scriptures of the Zoroastrians.

  • Aramaic in Iran
    ARAM, 7 (1995) 283-318 283 ARAMAIC IN IRAN PRODS OKTOR SKJÆRVØ INTRODUCTION This article has a dual purpose. First, I wish to remind Aramaists of a relatively important corpus of Aramaic texts on Iranian ground which has so far received but little and scattered attention. A comprehensive study of this corpus is a desideratum for both Aramaic and for Iranian studies. Second, I need to respond to a recent article by an Aramaist (Toll, “Die aramäischen Ideogramme”, 1990), in which a theory of the origin of the so-called Aramaic heterograms or ideograms (see below) in Iranian is proposed which departs from all previous theories. In my opinion the theory has a deficient material basis and therefore leads to erroneous conclusions. It is, however, the only such study by an Aramaist, and one of prominent academic lineage at that, and miscellaneous doubtful (if not wrong) forms deduced from the heterograms have now found their way into Hoftijzer-Jongeling.1 I was encouraged by the author some time ago (letter of 9 September 1990) to (re)publish my arguments in favor of a modified “standard” theory. This is the first and best opportunity I have had to do so. IRANIAN LANGUAGES AND SCRIPTS Languages belonging to the Iranian language family were spoken in Central Asia from the 2nd millennium B.C.E. and on the Iranian plateau probably from no later than the beginning of the 1st millennium B.C.E. The first direct evidence for Iranians on the plateau comes from the Assyrian sources, in which the Parsuwas are first mentioned.
