Review

"Le present recueil est une collection de 17 articles (15 publies entre 1965 et 2009, et 2 articles jusqu'ici inedits) sur la philologie et la linguistique iraniennes; ils portent sur le vieux et le moyen-perse ainsi que le persan (y compris un article sur un fragment judeo-persan ancien), mais surtout sur le developpement de la langue persane tout au long des 2500 annees de son histoire ecrite. Les articles jusqu'ici non publies (> et >) resument les opinions actuelles de Bo Utas sur la formation du persan, notamment la question de la transition du moyen-perse au persan. Ce volume bien presente offre un ensemble des articles de Bo Utas fort bienvenu." Agnes KornIn: Abstracta Iranica, volume 34-35-36, 2016, document 8.
