| Abstract:
These memoirs of a founder of Middle Eastern studies at U.S. institutions reveal more than the events of a life spent in intimate contact with many peoples of Eurasia. Although mainly concerned with "Greater Iran" (Afghanistan, Iran/Persia and Tajikistan), Richard Nelson Frye, Aga Khan professor of Iranian emeritus at Harvard University, describes changes which he witnessed there and elsewhere, making observations that are timely to understanding present-day relationships in the region. One of the first Western scholars to visit Central Asia after the death of Joseph Stalin, his knowledge of many languages enabled Frye to report on conditions in that hitherto little known region. In the course of subsequent trips to the USSR, the friendships he formed gave him unique insights about Soviet intellectuals concerned with the greater Iranian world. Life in Afghanistan and Persia (Iran) before the great changes that have transformed the area since the 1970s form a major part of this book. A much traveled Orientalist of the "old school," Frye's interaction with Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, Sadruddin Aga Khan, Bobojon Gafurov, Fikri Seljuki, Roman Ghirshman, Henry Corbin, as well as Nathan Pusey of Harvard, and various shapers of US policy toward Iran and Iranian Studies, are especially noteworthy. Personal matters are not forgotten, since some readers will wish to know how a boy from a small Midwestern town became so enamored with Iran and Central Asia that he devoted his life to investigating and explaining their history and cultures. These memoirs are not only a record of the past, but also of recent visits to old haunts that have evoked comments about the future of the Middle East and Central Asia. CONTENTS 1.

| Abstract:
This work is the English version, published for the first time, of the second edition of the two-volume magnum opus of well-known Soviet Tajik Orientalist B.G. Gafurov, brought out in 1989 from Dushanbe in Russian language. The first Russian edition which was published in 1972 from Moscow was followed by Tajik and Persian (in Arabic script) editions as also in the polish language translated from Russian. Though titled Tazhiki, Gafurov's work is, in fact, a well-researched comprehensive historical account of the march of the peoples (not just the Tajiks) living on the compact territory of Central Asia from times pre-historic to the threshold of the modern age. Creatively developing upon the foundations laid by outstanding Soviet scholars V.V. Bartold, A.A. Semenov and M.S. Andreev of the 20s and A.Lu.Yakubovskii of the 30s of the previous century, Gafurov's work makes use of a plethora of historical sources of the most varied character to work out on the basis of his own research on Tajik history, as also the researches by a host of Soviet scholars in the post-war period, an inter-disciplinary framework for understanding the history and culture of the closely linked Central Asian peoples bound by age old civilisational ties with India, Iran, Afghanistan, China and Russia. Some of the problems analysed in the book are level of development of culture and economy of Central Asia, ties with the neighbouring countries the Aryan problem, cultural synthesis between Central Asian, Iranian, Indian and Hellenic cultures, chronology and culture of the Kushans, besides history and culture of Tokharistan and Sogd. The Marxist approach of the author is reflected in his emphasis on issues related to economic development and social transformation and the popular struggles against foreign invaders and indigenous oppressors and tyrants.

| Abstract: La Margiane, située au nord-est de l'empire parthe, correspond au delta de la rivière Mourgab, qui se perd dans les sables du désert de Kara-Koum, et qu'on appelle aujourd'hui l'oasis de Merv. Cependant, comme en témoignent les sources écrites, le territoire de la Margiane historique était beaucoup plus étendu. Celui-ci comprenait non seulement l'oasis de Merv, mais également la vallée du cours moyen de la rivière Mourgab, dès son arrivée dans la plaine au sortir des montagnes du Khorassan turkmène. Strabon mentionne des montagnes dans sa description de la Margiane, ainsi que Pline l'Ancien, Ptolémée, Ammien Marcellin, Solinus, Marcien Capella. À l'époque médiévale, les auteurs perses et arabes estimaient que "la région de Merv" s'étendait au sud jusqu'aux montagnes. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract:
A previously unpublished variant of a drachm of the Parthian king Arsaces I, in the Coin Cabinet at Brussels, is presented, with special attention drawn to its monogram M. The latter appears not to stand for the mint Mithridatkart. (P. Naster) Galle has published a new drachm variant of Arsaces I (238-211 B.C.) [Houghton's dating], and has pointed out a possible discrepancy in Sellwood's interpretation of two reverse monograms as mintmarks of Mithradatkert. The author notes that archaeological exploration has dated the city's oldest remains to the late third or second century B.C., creating a strong likelihood that it was named for Mithradates I of Parthia (171-138 B.C.) [Houghton's dating], the only king of such name of that era. If such is the case, he reasons, the city could hardly have functioned as a mint for Arsaces I.

| Abstract: Contains outline of Parthian history (250 BCE-224 CE) and discussion of monetary standard. Traces development and types of coinage used by each of various Parthian rulers. Good handbook. "Mr. Gardner's work is distinguished from the publications of his illustrious predecessors by the excellence of its plates and its clearness of arrangement, and is also valuable for the sober judgment brought to bear upon the numismatic evidence, which, unfortunately, is seldom of a very satisfactory and decisive kind." [BMC Parthia, xiv] Kroh maintains that "this work is no longer very useful and many of the attributions are not in line with modern thinking." [Reviews, 45]. | ||
