ETIENNE DE LA VAISSIERE. TRANSLATED BY JAMES WARD.. Sogdian Traders. BRILL. 2005.. BRILL, 2005. ; fester Einband / hard cover ISBN: 9789004142527
Hardback, xiv, 410 pp, 8 illus.pp. , NEW. Hardback - The Sogdian Traders were the main go-between of Central Asia from the fifth to the eighth century. From their towns of Samarkand, Bukhara, or Tashkent, their diaspora is attested by texts, inscriptions or archaeology in all the major countries of Asia (India, China, Iran, Turkish Steppe, but also Byzantium). This survey for the first time brings together all the data on their trade, from the beginning, a small-scale trade in the first century BC up to its end in the tenth century. It should interest all the specialists of Ancient and Medieval Asia (including specialists of Sinology, Islamic Studies, Iranology, Turkology and Indology) but also specialists of Medieval Economic History. - A History - 10.

Lerner, Jeffrey D.. THE IMPACT OF SELEUCID DECLINE ON THE EASTERN IRANIAN PLATEAU The Foundations of Arsacid Parthia and Graeco-Bactria. Franz Steiner Verlag, 1999. ; weicher Einband / soft cover
Historia - Einzelschriften; 139 pages; The topic of this study is highly relevant for the history of the Seleucid Empire. Due to the patchiness of the known sources the study deals with a difficult area. In order to determine a more coherent picture of this relatively obscure and largely misunderstood history, Lerner disentangles from the various literary traditions from the individuals and events to which they relate. Numismatic evidence is also taken into consideration, for instance in the discussion of Euthydemus' Sogdian coinage. "Mit seiner instruktiven analyse des numismatischen Befunds hat der Verfasser den Rahmen abgesteckt fur weitere Forschung." Das Historisch-Politische Buch . (Franz Steiner 1999). 3515074171.
