Instrumenta Tocharica

This anthology consists of ten papers dealing with Tocharian philology. They provide information on the expeditions leading to the establishment of the collections of Tocharian manuscripts, descriptions of and concordances to those collections, an index of translations and a bibliography of text editions. Two further papers are concerned with the Tocharian script; providing, for the first time, a complete chart of its single signs; the other one a study on its development and establishing an inner chronology of the Tocharian texts. The final section presents texts edited here for the first time.
