Image description

Or.8212/166. Judeao-Persian document. Commercial letter written in Judeao Persian (i.e. New Persian written in Hebrew). The letter references trading in sheep and textiles and raises the possibility of a Jewish trading community along the Silk Road. Was discovered in the ruins at Dandan-Uiliq, where there had been a Buddhist monastery and garrison, deserted around the end of the 8th century. It is possibly the oldest document to be written in early New Persian.
