Description

In Persian and Arabic sources the administrative language of the SasanianEmpire, and its possible courtly language was called Pahlavi. Today, we also use Middle Persian interchangeably with Pahlavi to signify the literature produced during the phase between the Old Persian and that of Classical Persian phases of the language. This short book aims to discuss texts produced as inscriptions on coins, stone, papyri, parchment, leather and later paper between the third and the tenth centuries CE. This survey is in some ways similar what has been produced by previous scholars, with two major differences. First, there is the attention to the works produced by scholars in Iran whose mastery of Classical Persian affords insights into Pahlavi texts which may not have been noticed by other scholars around the world. Secondly, rather than giving a monolithic reading of the literature produced, the a historical classification based on the works of Alberto Cantera and Miguel Angel Andrés-Toledo is provided as the framework. I believe their reading of some of the Pahlavi provide a far better understanding and classification of these texts. This work was complete over two intensive Pahlavi summer schools at the University of California, Irvine. As part of these classes, I had to prepare an introductory reading for those interested in learning Pahlavi and used this text to provide an outline of Pahlavi literature. With the support of the Razi Family Foundation I was able to complete the work and the following is the product of such endeavor. This is still a first look at a huge corpus from the Sasanian and post-Sasanian Middle Persian literature which we only have begun to study and understand. It is through the new generation of scholars who will provide new readings and discussion of Pahlavi texts that we will be able to have a better understanding of what has remained for us from the late antique Persianate World.
