Middle Persian, Pahlavi Archive, Hastijan, Revised ReadingsAbstract
The publication of research findings on the documents that today should be referred to as the Pahlavi Archive of Hastijan[1], began in 1991 with an article by Gignoux (1991). These studies were continued by Gignoux himself and Weber, resulting in significant advances in our understanding of the archive. Weber’s involvement in the research, along with his valuable contributions, notably accelerated progress and greatly improved the precision of the interpretations. Despite their extensive efforts, a portion of the documents still requires rereading and retranslation. It is important to emphasize, however, that the possibility for younger researchers like myself to undertake such tasks today is entirely thanks to the remarkable groundwork and deep expertise of both Gignoux and Weber.
