1996Paperback, 230 p., + 88 Plates, 210 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503505145. This Buddhist text has a long history and enjoyed great popularity in many Asian countries. It incorporates dogmatic treatises and reflects several ancient cults devoted to the historical Buddha Sakyamuni as well as several Bodhisattvas. Of the three Chinese translations form the original Sanskrit text the one by Yi Jing (7th century) became the basis of further traditions. Fragments of a translation from this Chinese version into Old Turkish around the 10th century, were found by the numerous and famous Central Asian expeditions in Gansu as well as in the Turfan oasis. For the critical edition of the forewords and the first two chapters, all surviving manuscripts and blockprints (altogether two in Petersburg and about twenty in the Turfan Collection of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften) have been collated. Parts missing in the Petersburg manuscripts are here edited for the first time. The edition is accompanied by a German translation as wellas a commentary on textual and Buddhological problems. All available remnants are reproduced in facsimile on 120 plates. Languages: German.

2000Hardback, 205 pages., 190 Abbildungen, 210 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503509570. Das Vimalakirtinirdesasutra, mit den Worten E. Lamottes "le joyeau du bouddhisme", ist eines der beruhmten Mahayana-Sutras und hat besonders in der Geschichte des chinesischen Buddhismus einen bedeutenden Platz erhalten. Vollstandig ist dieses nur in tibetischer und chinesischer Sprache uberliefert, nicht aber in Sanskrit, wo jedoch zahlreiche Passagen als Zitate vorkommen. Die mongolische Version ist direkt von der tibetischen abhangig. Auf die sanskritische Version gehen nicht nur die tibetische, sondern naturlich auch die chinesischen Fassungen zuruck, von denen immerhin drei unterschiedliche Ubersetzungen erhalten sind. Aus dem alten Zentralasien waren bisher Fragmente vor allem in khotansakischer und sogdischer Ubersetzung bekannt. Wahrend die erstere von der sanskritischen Tradition abhangig ist, wurde die letztere aus der chinesischen Fassung des Kumarajiva ubertragen. Einige wenige altturkische Fragmente in sogdischer Schrift wurden von D. Fedakar herausgegeben, die hier als Handschrift S mit eingearbeitet wurden. Mit der vorliegenden Ausgabe weiterer Vkn-Fragmente in mehreren in uigurischer Schrift geschriebenen Handschriften (A-I, X) lasst sich ein betrachtlicher Teil des Sutras in altturkischer Ubertragung rekonstruieren. Fur das Verstandnis des Vkn selbst ergeben sich partiell einige interessante Aspekte. Languages: German.
2005Paperback, XCVII+237 p., 207 b/w ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503518404. The book contains editions of nine Old Uighur translations of Buddhist magical texts, which are compared to their Chinese and/or Tibetan counterparts. No parallel could be found for one sutra, which may be considered as an original Uighur composition and thus deserves special interest. These works based on Central Asian fragments from several Turfan and Dunhuang collections, mainly from the collection of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, through new light into the history of the well established domain of Uighur Tantric Buddhism during the 11th through 14th centuries. Six of these sutras are newly identified texts, while the edition of the well-known sutra on the Great Bear has been improved. German translations and notes accompany the transliterated and transcribed texts. A glossary as well as plates of the edited fragments conclude the volume. Languages: German.
2007Paperback, LI+607 p., 120 b/w ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503526218. The book is the first comprehensive edition of all hitherto identified fragments of the K'anti Kilguluk Nom Bitig in Old Uygur (Old Turkic) culled from several collections of Central Asian manuscripts in Germany, Russia, China and Japan. The text is a translation in 40 chapters of a Chinese Buddhist work (Cibei daochang chanfa) which belongs to the apocrypha. It testifies to the strong influence of Chinese Buddhism at the beginning of the second millennium A.D. among the Uygurs. The objective of the work, which was intended to be recited during a ritual, is the expiation of sins. Another aim was to rescue the patrons' relatives from a life in unfavourable births among hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals etc. Remarkable is the insertion of what must have been originally about a thousand Buddha names numerous of which are preserved in the Old Uygur version. Languages: German.
2011Paperback, 343 p., 88 b/w ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503528885. The seven texts edited in this volume give new insights into the Prajn'p'ramit' literature in Old Uyghur, an important corpus of Old Uyghur Buddhist texts. The volume presents each text with a transcription, transliteration and translation into English on facing pages. Besides the general introduction it also includes an extensive introduction to each text, philological and Buddhological notes, a complete glossary with Chinese counterparts and facsimiles of selected fragments. The volume also makes available for the first time an extensive edition of three important Buddhist texts, namely the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra and the fragments of various commentaries. Master Fu's verse commentary both with and without the sutra text is considerably enlarged, including a large number of new fragments which were identified after the publication of the Berliner Turfantexte I. Languages: English.
2011Paperback, 237 p., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503541570. The book is the first edition of the Old Turkish commentary on the Vimalakirtinirdesa-Sutra. All fragments that were identified belonging to this commentary are now preserved in the Berlin Turfan Collection. The relevant commentary may have been based on a Chinese text, whose author was a representative of the Tiantai school. However, some lines in the Old Turkish version are the additions of the Uyghur translator or, more specifically, author and clearly show the strong influence of the Yogic'ra school, which was then studied with keen interest in Dunhuang, the neighbouring city of Turfan. This fact indicates the close relationship between this Uyghur author and the Buddhism in Dunhuang. Moreover, the Old Turkish version of the Vimalakirtinirdesa-Sutra (published by Peter Zieme as Berliner Turfantexte XX) is preserved. The comparison between these two texts shows, however, that both texts were independently translated into Old Turkish. Languages: German.
2008Paperback, 388 p., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503528021. Buddhist colophons are the texts added after Buddhist sutras and commentaries. They were written by the individuals who composed the text in question (authors), translated it (translators), had it copied or printed (patrons), copied it (copyists), or read it (readers). While Buddhist sutras and commentaries were copied several times and handed down nearly unchanged through time, colophons were as a rule unique. In comparison with the former, the latter can therefore be described as individual. Many colophons were added to the Uighur Buddhist texts. These colophons provide essential information about Uighur Buddhism and Buddhists such as the date of the composition or translation of the text, the names of the authors, translators, patrons and members of Buddhist families, the reasons for acting as patrons and the requests expressed by them. This book is the first comprehensive edition of the published colophons. The author examines their historical development. Unpublished colophons have been added. Languages: German.
1997Hardback, 240 p., 98 ill., 210 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503506357. The Sermon on the Soul is a Manichaean tract largely reconstructed from some 60 fragments in Parthian, Sogdian and Old Turkish. It played a big part in the East Manichaean tradition, attested in more than 30 manuscripts and inspiring later East Manichaean works, even hymns in the Chinese language. The sermon underscores the identity of the individual souls and the cosmic viva anima, of the spiritual nature of the soul and the five light elements, and it decribes the benificient, meritorious activities of the world soul on behalf of the wordly creatures. It gives an uncommonly optimistic description of life on earth and is remarkable for its well-designed parables. It is an outstanding example of Manichaean prose literature and contributes considerably to our knowledge of the Manichaean doctrine. Languages: German.
