paper
Photo of a transcribed copy of a lost original document written in Turki using Arabic letters, with partial interlinear translations into New Persian (apparently added by Denison Ross' assistant).

محتوا

A modern transcription of a lost original land sale document written in the iqrār (acknowledgment) format regarding a plot of land in Sınmas sold for 1000 yarmaqs. Erdal’s transcription of the text does not include the interlinear New Persian annotations. This is one of six land sale documents written in the late eleventh century, collected by Denison Ross, of which photos were kept at SOAS. Formally, these documents differ from the non-Muslim deeds of land sale in the collection, which according to Erdal follow Chinese models. Erdal used these photos while the whereabouts of the originals were (and remain) unknown. Provenance seems to be a garden outside Yarkand where the documents were  found in 1911. For details, see Erdal’s article.
