The Middle Persian letters from the pre-Islamic and early Islamic period in the "Pahlavi Archive" of the Bancroft Library (University of Berkeley, Cal.) are new, hitherto unedited documents written in the difficult Pahlavi cursive script. These texts belong to an archive containing numerous economic and legal documents, discovered in the 1980s of the 20th century in Iran (part of this material belongs to the Institute of Iranian Studies of the FU Berlin, was edited in the DFG-project MA 796/4-1and published in 2008). The documents identified as letters in this archive reflect the Sasanian craft of letter writing in its final stage of development in the 7th and 8th centuries. They stand out against the other documents by a specific structure, also known from other sources, consisting of a set of formulaic phrases in the address, the main and the final parts of the letters. The goal of the project is a complete edition of the letters within the framework of a systematic approach, planning to take all the available material on letter writing in the Sasanian period into consideration and to discuss them in the light of other economic and legal texts of the Archive as well as from other collections. Since only sparse original material has survived from this period, this finding gives us the rare opportunity to complete our knowlege of the language and the script as well as the economic and legal culture of this period from a valuable primary source.

在班克罗夫特图书馆（加州伯克利大学）的“巴列维档案”中，来自前伊斯兰和早期伊斯兰时期的中波斯信件是迄今为止未经编辑的新文件，用困难的巴列维草书书写。这些文本属于一个包含大量经济和法律文件的档案，于20世纪80年代在伊朗发现（部分材料属于柏林大学伊朗研究所，在dfg项目MA 796/4-1中编辑，并于2008年出版）。在这个档案中被确认为信件的文件反映了萨珊人在7世纪和8世纪发展的最后阶段的信件写作工艺。它们以一种特殊的结构与其他文件相区别，这种结构也来自其他来源，包括信件的地址、主要部分和最后部分的一套公式化短语。该项目的目标是在系统方法的框架内完成信件的完整版本，计划考虑到萨珊王朝时期所有可用的信件写作材料，并根据档案中的其他经济和法律文本以及其他收藏品进行讨论。由于这一时期只有很少的原始材料幸存下来，这一发现为我们提供了难得的机会，从宝贵的原始来源中完善我们对这一时期的语言和文字以及经济和法律文化的知识。
