Review

"...das viel ersehnte und von nun an unentbehrliche Standarwerk jedwelcher Alanenforschung." - Virgil Ciociltan, Ungarn Jahrbuch, 2004
"There can be no doubt: this is a splendidly conceived and executed work, a major contribution not only to the history of the Alans but also to the medieval history of the Caucasus region." - Denis Sinor, JAH, 2004
"In his outstanding study, the author has presented us with a thesaurus of information that is of interest to students both of Iranian and Caucasian linguistics and of the fascinating cultures of the Eurasian steppes during the first millennium A.D." - Fridrik Thordarson, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2002
