Complete edition of the Old Turkic cycle of legends Dasakarmapathavadanamala

许多古维吾尔文学作品仅以碎片形式存在，但有些保存得更好。这些材料对语言和文化研究至关重要。其中一个作品是一个故事循环，标题为Dasakarmapathavadanamala（与十种行动有关的传说花环，以下简称DKPAM）。这是前伊斯兰中亚最重要的叙事作品。它的旧维吾尔语版本是由吐火罗语a版本翻译而来的，而吐火罗语a版本又可以追溯到吐火罗语B版本。有趣的是，以一片叶子为代表的粟特语译本也被确认。一个故事（Hamsasvara Avadana）的吐火罗语版本在古维吾尔语和吐火罗语B语中有相似之处，最近由DIETER MAUE在维也纳的吐火罗语文本会议上向公众介绍。在梵文、汉文和藏文文献中都找不到类似的版本，这增强了中亚碎片的重要性。DKPAM的吐火罗语A和B片段现存很少。WILKENS博士最近在吐火罗语B中发现了一个有趣的碎片。尽管在这段文字中完整地保留了旧维吾尔语的翻译，但通过与PEYROT博士合作比较吐火罗语的片段，可以改进其解释和翻译。事实证明，PEYROT博士最近发现的与Mahendrasena Avadana相似的吐火罗语B语对古维吾尔语Mahendrasena Avadana的研究更有帮助。此外，HIROTOSHI OGIHARA告诉WILKENS博士，吐火罗语B中的一小块碎片已经被确定，其中提到了kananasara的正确名称。因此，kankanasara Avadana的碎片以三种语言存在：古维吾尔语，粟特语和吐火罗语B（后者可能是粟特语版本的模型）。在中亚语言的其他版本中，只有一小部分幸存下来，旧维吾尔语版本是维吾尔语佛教文献中最重要的四部作品之一，其他三部分别是金光经，玄奘传和麦提斯密特。尽管它很重要，但到目前为止人们只知道它的一部分。正在编写的DKPAM的版本将首次将这项工作的所有证词提供给公众。威尔肯斯博士发现并定位了许多新的碎片。对DKPAM的内容和结构进行了大量的重构。这本关于前伊斯兰中亚的最重要的记叙文著作将以一种版本和德语翻译的形式向学术界开放，并附有详细的评论和冗长的词汇表。

Many works of Old Ugyhur literature are extant only in fragmentary form, but some are much better preserved. These materials are of paramount importance for linguistic and cultural studies. One of these works is a cycle of stories bearing the title Dasakarmapathavadanamala (Garland of legends which pertain to the ten courses of action, abbreviated as DKPAM in the following). It is the most important narrative work in preislamic Central Asia. Its Old Uyghur version was translated from a version in Tocharian A, which in turn goes back to a Tocharian B original. Interestingly, a Sogdian translation represented by one leaf was identified as well. A Tumshuqese version of one story (Hamsasvara Avadana), which has a parallel in Old Uyghur and in Tocharian B, was recently introduced to the public by DIETER MAUE during the conference Tocharian Texts in Context (Vienna). A parallel version is not found in Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan literature, which enhances the importance of the Central Asian fragments. Very few fragments in Tocharian A and B of the DKPAM are extant. An interesting fragment in Tocharian B was recently identified by Dr. WILKENS. Even though the Old Uyghur translation is completely preserved in this passage, its interpretation and translation could be improved by comparing the Tocharian fragment in cooperation with Dr. PEYROT. It turned out that a Tocharian B parallel of the Mahendrasena Avadana, which had been recently identified by Dr. PEYROT, was even more helpful for the work on the Mahendrasena Avadana in Old Uyghur. Additionally, Dr. WILKENS was informed by HIROTOSHI OGIHARA that a small fragment in Tocharian B, in which the proper name Kancanasara is mentioned, has been identified. Thus, fragments of the Kancanasara Avadana are extant in three languages: Old Uyghur, Sogdian and Tocharian B (the latter being presumably the model of the Sogdian version).While from the other versions in Central Asian languages only small fragments survive, the Old Uyghur version is one of the four most substantial works of Uyghur Buddhist literature, the other three being the Sutra of Golden Light, the Biography of Xuanzang, and the Maitrisimit. Despite its importance, the DKPAM is heretofore known only in parts. The edition of the DKPAM, which is under preparation, will make this work accessible for the first time in all its testimonies. Numerous new fragments were identified and located by Dr. WILKENS. Content and structure of the DKPAM were reconstructed in large parts. The most important narrative work of preislamic Central Asia will be accessible to the scholarly world in an edition and in a translation into German, accompanied by a detailed commentary and a long glossary.
