The present volume is closing a gap of the specialist literature felt for some time. In it may be found a comprehensive Old Persian dictionary based on the author’s edition of the texts („Die altpersischen Inschriften der Achaimeniden“, Wiesbaden 2009); it contains lists of the transliterated and transcriptional word-forms (including full references), the lexicon proper arranged by word-stems, roots etc. as well as reverse indexes to both the lists and the lexicon itself (verbal roots, nominal and pronominal stems and indeclinable words being kept apart).<br/>
English summary: The present volume is closing a gap of the specialist literature felt for some time, because the glossaries and dictionaries available cover the Old Persian vocabulary only in part and are defective in some respects. For preparing a new Old Persian dictionary the situation is quite favourable at present, since a complete edition of the royal inscriptions has been published in 2009 by the author in his book “Die altpersischen Inschriften der Achaimeniden” (Wiesbaden 2009), where only some texts of minor relevance, the inscriptions on vessels, seals (and sealings) and weights, had been ignored. A dictionary like the present comprehensive work probably never had been tackled before for a corpus language like Old Persian, for in order to cope the divergent needs of all sorts of users it contains six separate lists or indexes: lists of (1) the transliterated and (2) the transcriptional word-forms (this one giving a short grammatical definition and a list of all references), (3) the lexicon proper, arranged by word-stems, roots etc. and giving a translation as well as short information about the (syntactical, phraseological or other) use of the word and its etymology, and finally (4-5) reverse indexes of the first two lists and (6) of the dictionary itself (verbal roots, nominal and pronominal stems and indeclinable words being kept apart).German description: Der vorliegende Band schliesst eine schon lange bestehende Lucke in der Fachliteratur, da die vorhandenen Glossare und Lexika mehr oder weniger unvollstandig und in dieser oder jener Hinsicht mangelhaft sind. Fur die Ausarbeitung eines neuen Altpersisch-Worterbuches ist die Lage gegenwartig deshalb gunstig, weil in des Verfassers Werk “Die altpersischen Inschriften der Achaimeniden” (Wiesbaden 2009) eine vollstandige Ausgabe der Konigsinschriften vorliegt, die nur die weniger bedeutsamen Gefass-, Siegel- und Gewichtsinschriften unberucksichtigt liess. Ein Worterbuch wie das vorliegende umfassende Werk ist fur eine Sprache wie das Altpersische wohl noch niemals in Angriff genommen worden, denn im Hinblick auf die unterschiedlichen Forderungen und Wunsche moglicher Interessenten enthalt es sechs separate Listen bzw. Indizes: Listen (1) der transliterierten und (2) der transkribierten Wortformen (diese mit grammatischer Kurzdefinition und Angabe samtlicher Belegstellen), (3) das eigentliche Worterbuch, lemmatisiert nach Stammen, Wurzeln usw. mit Ubersetzung, Angaben zur (syntaktischen, phraseologischen usw.) Verwendung und auch zur Etymologie, sowie schliesslich (4-5) Reversindizes zu den ersten beiden Listen und (6) zum Worterbuch (getrennt nach Verbalwurzeln, Nominal- und Pronominalstammen sowie Indeklinabilia).
