The Book of Zambasta. Metre and stress in Old Khotanese

More about the book

Khotanese, an Iranian language from the first millennium CE, features rich literature like the Book of Zambasta, a 24-chapter poem on Mahāyāna Buddhism. This work presents a new analysis of its metre, arguing for a quantitative (moraic) basis with specific ictus patterns, while addressing Khotanese accentuation and language history. The complete poem text is included.
