His account of two extended visits to Sinkiang (Eastern Turkistan) separated by a half-century interval , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at gives this work an extraordinary perspective. Particularly informative and interesting are Dn Jarring's unique observations and insights, based on his extensive knowledge of the area and the Central Asian Uighurs and their language. Gunnar Jarring served his native Sweden as a diplomat—several times at the ambassadorial level—in posts in India, Sri Lanka, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, the United States, the United Nations, and the Soviet Union.

  • THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING: SADAT, NIXON and the SOVIET PRESENCE in EGYPT, 1970-1971 by Craig A
    THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING: SADAT, NIXON AND THE SOVIET PRESENCE IN EGYPT, 1970-1971 By Craig A. Daigle* New evidence reveals that the United States was well aware of Sadat's intention to remove the Soviet military presence from Egypt and took steps over the summer of 1971 to ensure this end. We now know that President Nixon's decision to suspend the supply of aircrafts to Israel at the end of June and his decision to press for reopening the Suez Canal as part of an interim agreement between Egypt and Israel had as much to do with getting Soviets out of Egypt as it did with finding a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. The decision by Egyptian President Anwar hurried a letter to Leonid Brezhnev, al-Sadat to remove the Soviet military claiming the United States had "no presence from his country during the advanced knowledge of the recent events in summer of 1972 has often been viewed as Egypt," and assured the Soviet Premier that the first step on the road to the October the United States would "take no unilateral War the following year. By removing the actions in the Middle East" as a result of Soviet presence, it has been argued, Sadat the recent developments.(5) was also removing the major obstacle Early scholarly treatment of Sadat's preventing him from engaging in another decision to remove the Soviet military war with Israel.(1) Though Sadat insisted at presence has generally fallen in line with the time that the expulsion of the Soviets this official account.

  • From Khotan and Kashghar: Gunnar Jarring and the Jarring Collection Gunilla Törnvall
    From Khotan and Kashghar: Gunnar Jarring and the Jarring Collection Gunilla Törnvall Introduction In 1982 the Swedish diplomat and philologist Gunnar Jarring (1907-2002) donated his unique collection of manuscripts from Eastern Turkestan to the University Library in Lund. It is an extremely rich collection of Eastern Turkestan manuscripts, the third largest in the world. The manuscripts come from the periphery of the Islamic world in Central Asia, nowadays the Chinese province of Xinjiang, from cities like Kashghar and Yarkand, situated along the old Silk Road. The Jarring Collection consists of 560 manuscripts, of which many are miscellanies, dating from the 16th to the 20th century. Gunnar Jarring bought part of the collection himself during his stay in the area in 1929- 1930 while making field studies for his doctoral thesis in Turkish languages. The majority of the collection are books in languages from Eastern Turkestan, mainly Uighur but also Uzbek and Chagatai. There are also Persian and Arabic manuscripts. Besides reflecting the Eastern Turkestan society and culture with classic and folk literature, Islamic religious manuscripts, judicial and historic documents, manuals of medicine, trades and mysticism etc., the collection also includes many items from the activities of the Swedish Mission in Eastern Turkestan. Gunnar Jarring Gunnar Jarring was born in 1907 in a family of farmers in Brunnby, in the south of Sweden. In 1926 he began his studies at Lund University. He started with German and Nordic languages with the intention to become a teacher, but eventually became more and more interested in foreign languages. He continued with Russian, Czech and Sanskrit before he got caught by Turkish.

  • Phytonyms and Plant Knowledge in Sven Hedin's
    GLIMPSES OF LOPTUQ FOLK BOTANY: PHYTONYMS AND PLANT KNOWLEDGE IN SVEN HEDIN’S HERBARIUM NOTES FROM THE LOWER TARIM RIVER AREA AS A SOURCE FOR ETHNOBIOLOGICAL RESEARCH Patrick Hällzon, Sabira Ståhlberg and Ingvar Svanberg Uppsala University This interdisciplinary study discusses the vernacular phytonyms and other ethnobiological aspects of vegetation in the Loptuq (Loplik) habitat on the Lower Tarim River. This small Turkic-speaking group lived as fisher-foragers in the Lopnor (Lop Lake) area in East Turkestan, now the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. Information about this unique group, and especially the folk knowledge of plants in the area, is scant. In 1900, Swedish explorer Sven Hedin collected plant voucher specimens for the Swedish Natural History Museum in Stockholm. He noted local names on herbarium labels, thus providing modern researchers a rare glimpse into the Loptuq world. As the traditional way of life is already lost and the Loptuq language almost extinct, every trace of the former culture is of significance when trying to understand the peculiarities of human habitats and survival in arid areas. The ethnobiological analysis can further contribute to other fields, such as climate change, and define the place of the Loptuq on the linguistic and cultural map of Central Asia. LANGUAGE AND FOLK BOTANY Language reflects not only cultural reality and the way of life, but also human habitat and the physical environment.1 Rich biodiversity-based knowledge about the surrounding landscape and its biota (the living organisms of a specific region) has usually constituted an essential component of traditional and pre-industrial societies across the world (Lévi-Strauss 1962; Svanberg et al.

  • Return to Kashgar: the Jarring Collection of Uyghur
    Submitted on: 21.07.2017 Return to Kashgar – the Jarring Collection of Uyghur Manuscripts Eva Nilsson Nylander Lund University Library, Lund, Sweden, [email protected] Copyright © 2017 by Eva Nilsson Nylander. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: Return to Kashgar – the Jarring Collection of Uyghur Manuscripts Kashgar was a major crossroads for trade and culture along the Eurasian Silk Route for thousands of years, a place where Turkic, Persian, Arab, Chinese and other groups interacted. The Lund University Library is privileged to hold some 600 handwritten books from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries from cities in this region like Kashgar, Urumchi and Yarkand. Containing about 1500 titles, presumably the largest collection in the world, this so-called Jarring Collection was mostly acquired in Kashgar in 1929-1930 by the Swedish philologist and career diplomat Gunnar Jarring (1907-2002), while doing research for his doctoral thesis on Turkic languages. (Ambassador Jarring served later as a UN peace negotiator in both the Palestine and the Kashmir conflict.) In an attempt to return, as it were, these books, this cultural heritage, to Kashgar, the Lund University Library has undertaken an ambitious ongoing digitization and cataloguing program; the digitized books are free to access and download from the library portal. There are, however, other borders to cross and different problems to solve to meet the demands of global research and the free transmission of knowledge. The paper will deal with some of these problems.
