Es handelt sich hier um die Neuedition eines der wichtigsten Sprachdenkmäler des alttürkischen Schrifttums: Das bisher einzige bekannte, in der alttürkischen sogenannten Runenschrift abgefasste Buch, ein Wahrsagebuch aus dem Ostturkestan des 9. Jahrhunderts, dessen Handschrift in der Londoner British Library aufbewahrt wird. Der Herausgeber Talat Tekin, ein führender Spezialist auf dem Gebiet des Alttürkischen und der vergleichenden Turkologie, schlägt eine Reihe neuer interessanter Lesungen dieses bisher zum Teil falsch interpretierten Textes vor.This is a new edition of one of the most important linguistic monuments of Old Turkic writing: the only known book to date written in the Old Turkish so-called runic script, a fortune-telling book from 9th century East Turkestan, the manuscript of which is kept in the British Library in London. The editor Talat Tekin, a leading specialist in the field of Old Turkic and comparative Turkology, proposes a series of new and interesting readings of this text, which has been partly misinterpreted until now.
