Text, Place, and Time. The Historical and Philological Evaluation of the Early Judaeo-Persian Texts.

当当前项目的提案提交时（2013年），早期犹太-波斯语（EJP）文本的语料库包括大约700页，这些文本是在公元8-12世纪用希伯来字母写的，在伊朗和近东和中东（包括中亚）的其他地方。通过最近发现的手稿，这些数字在2014年至2016年间增加到1300多页。EJP文本展示了各种各样的主题和主题，是研究犹太-伊朗历史、文学和宗教的最重要的来源。特别重要的是一本来自巴米扬（阿富汗）的商人家庭的完整账簿，以及其他账簿的一部分。文本的语言构成了理解波斯语演变的一个重要环节。与2013年最初的项目一样，该扩展项目的目标是对所有EJP文本的语言和内容进行全面调查，并以专著的形式公布调查结果。调查最重要的方面是：在空间和时间上对文本进行本地化，并评估所有与历史相关的信息和术语。历史部分将由一位来自耶路撒冷的研究人员负责（由Shaked教授指导），语言学部分由一位来自汉堡的研究人员负责（由Paul教授指导）。对这两个调查部分的分析应尽量把文本的本土化与其语言和方言特征结合起来。

When the proposal for the current project was submitted (in 2013), the corpus of Early Judaeo-Persian (EJP) texts included approximately 700 pages that were written from the 8-12 centuries CE with the Hebrew alphabet, in Iran and in various other places of the Near and Middle East (including Central Asia). Through recent manuscript finds, these figures have increased up to over 1.300 pages between 2014 and 2016. The EJP texts show a great variety of topics and themes, and are of utmost importance as sources for the study of Jewish-Iranian history, literature, and religion. Of particular importance is a complete account book of a trader's family from Bamian (Afghanistan), and parts of other account books. The language of the texts constitutes an important link for the understanding of the evolution of Persian.The extension project's aims, like that of the original 2013 project, are to provide a comprehensive investigation of the language and contents of all the EJP texts, and to publish the results of this investigation in the form of a monograph. The most important aspects of the investigation are: localising the texts in space and time, and evaluating all informations and terms that are historically relevant. The historical part will be taken over by a researcher from Jerusalem (supervised by Prof. Shaked), the linguistic part by a researcher from Hamburg (supervised by Prof. Paul). A snythesis of both parts of the investigation shall try to bring together the localisation of the texts with their linguistic and dialectal features.
