Manuscripts from the collection of B.A. DornComp. and commentary: Igbal Abilov
 
The Talyshi language is one of the Northwestern Iranian languages, alongside Gilaki, Mazandarani, Gorani, Zazaki, and others. It is spoken in the southwestern Caspian region on both sides of the Iran-Azerbaijan border. Researchers distinguish three main dialects: Nothern (primarily spoken in the Republic of Azerbaijan and adjacent areas of Iran's Gilan and Ardabil provinces), Central and Southern (both spoken in the aforementioned provinces).
 
This publication includes manuscripts collected by B.A. Dorn in the second half of the 19th century, which were discovered by Igbal Abilov in 2012. At present, these manuscripts, along with the materials of P.F. Riss, are the earliest known written records in the Northern dialect of the Talyshi language.
 
The aim of the series "Bibliotheca Talyshica", published by the Talysh National Academy, is to introduce into scientific circulation previously unpublished written monuments of the Talysh language, treatises and studies of Talysh scholars who lived in the period from the Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century, previously unpublished and newly discovered in the archives of Talysh studies works of the widest spectrum - from linguistics to archeology, from geography to anthropology, etc.
 
The manuscripts collected by B. A. Dorn represent the most comprehensive corpus of Talysh-language texts (in the northern dialect) available to date. Among them are poems that appear to have been written before the 19th century, a translation of the work Kanz al-Asrar from Mazandarani into Talysh, as well as a Russian-Talysh dictionary (the first of its kind) and notes on Talysh grammar, both compiled with B. A. Dorn’s direct involvement. This edition also includes Dorn’s travel notes recorded during his visit to the Talysh region.
