Reviews

Paolo Sartori und Ulfat Abdurasulov haben sich beide in den letzten Jahren intensiv um die Erkundung zentralasiatischer Archivmaterialien verdient gemacht. (...) Neben der vor allem in der Einleitung vorgetragenen Darstellung und Analyse dieses auf den Herrscher zentrierten Rechtswesens ist der Band auch eine beachtliche editorische Leistung. Die Autoren - und Herausgeber - haben aus dem sehr grossen Corpus der im Staatsarchiv von Usbekistan in Taschkent aufbewahrten Urkunden ein Sample von 73 Stucken ausgesucht, die das analysierte Verfahren veranschaulichen und gleichzeitig die Analyse stutzen. Die Urkunden werden mit einem zusammenfassenden und erlauternden Text eingeleitet, was noetig ist, weil Leser sonst die Eigenheiten des Falles erst aus der spezifischen Sprache herauslesen mussten. Die UEbersetzungen folgen, diese halten sich eng genug an die Vorlage, sind aber keine Interlinearversionen. Oft werden zentrale Passagen auch in der Originalsprache, aber in Umschrift gegeben. Die gleichen Urkunden hat man dann auch in der Lesung und als Faksimile. (...) Eine hervorragende Leistung! - Jurgen Paul. OLZ 116-4-5 (2021).
