Le Coq was a Prussian / German brewery owner and wine merchant, who at the age of 40 began to study archaeology. Aided by his wealth, von Le Coq became a famous archaeologist and explorer of Central Asia. Von Le Coq was convinced that the influence of Ancient Greece could be found as far in the east as China. However, organising expeditions to Central Asia and China was beyond his means. The German archaeologist Hermann Parzinger has found a letter in the Prussian State Archive which reveals that the financial backing to von Le Coq's expedition came from no one else than the last German emperor Wilhelm II. Wilhelm was obsessed with Greek culture and supported one of the expeditions with 32,000 German gold marks. Von Le Coq was associated with the Museum für Völkerkunde (now called the Ethnological Museum of Berlin) in Berlin. Serving as assistant to the head of the Museum, Professor Albert Grünwedel, Le Coq helped plan and organize expeditions into the regions of western Asia, specifically areas near the Silk Road such as Gaochang. When Grünwedel fell ill before the departure of the second expedition, Le Coq was assigned to lead it. His account of the second and third German Turpan expeditions was published in English in 1928 as Buried Treasures of Chinese Turkestan. The expeditions found extensive networks of Buddhist and Manichaean cave temples in the Xinjiang region of Northwest China. Although many of the manuscripts found in the cave were destroyed during the excavation, von Le Coq speculated that he had discovered a major Manichaean library. Some of the paintings also led him to believe that he had found evidence of an Aryan culture, related to the Franks. With the help of his assistants, Theodor Bartus, Le Coq carved and sawed away over 360 kilograms (or 305 cases) of artifacts, wall-carvings, and precious icons, which were subsequently shipped to the museum. In Buried Treasures ..., Le Coq defends these "borrowings" as a matter of necessity, citing the turbulent nature of Chinese Turkestan at the time of the expeditions. Chinese consider this seizure a "colonial rapacity" comparable to the taking of the Elgin Marbles or the Koh-i-Noor diamond. The artifacts were put on display at the museum and were open to the public until 1944 when the relics were destroyed in a British bombing raid during World War II. This Turkish translation of 'Manichaica aus Chotscho'.

2011New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English and Turkish. 630 p., ills. Horizons of the world: Festschrift for Isenbike Togan.= Hûdudü'l-âlem: Isenbike Togan'a armgan. Edited by Ilker Evrim Binbas, Nurten Kiliç-Schubel. The articles gathered in this volume are dedicated to Professor Isenbike Togan by her students, colleagues, and friends to honor and celebrate her long and continuing career as one of the world's foremost scholars in the field of Central Asian history. The range of articles that the contributors to this festschrift submitted reflects in many ways the depth and breadth of Isenbike Togan's works and her understanding of history. Indeed, from a geographical perspective, her published works cover the vast area from China to Anatolia, and from a chronological perspective they extend from the 7th to the 21st century. While the central historical question with which Isenbike Togan engages most frequently is the nature of political culture, her books and articles address a wide range of issues and questions, including women's history, the dhikr ceremonies of the Naqshbandi order in Eastern Turkestan, legitimacy and state formation in Central Asia, tribal politics from the perspective of anthropological history, and Chinese historiography. Through her command of a wide range of languages, historical issues, and textual sources, she not only makes 'surprising' connections among these seemingly diverse historical topics, but offers systematic and new approaches in the study of the Turco-Mongol peoples. Her intellectual adventure has been shaped by her unique ability to engage with the objects of her inquiry in a truly holistic and integrative manner; her works, while thoroughly rooted in painstaking and careful textual and linguistics analysis, consistently address and illuminate the 'big picture' in history.
