  • Nomi uralici e altaici di animali e uccelli in osseto

    Paolo OgnibeneARTICLEAnnali Sezione Orientale2023

    In the third part of his Ossetian studies Vsevolod Miller hypothesized that the Alans moved towards the Caucasus following a northern route, that is, without crossing the mountain ridge. In support of his hypothesis he considered the presence in the Ossetian lexicon of many names relating to the terminology of metals of Ural and Altaic origin. In order to consolidate his hypothesis, he also examined various Altaic names of animals and birds prese…

  • Linguistic and Religious Continuity in Outer Iran

    Paolo OgnibeneARTICLEJournal of Persianate Studies2022References: 1

    Classical sources give evidence for the presence of Scythians, Sarmatians, and Alans at different times in the region north of the Black Sea. While not all scholars agree with Abaev’s idea of “strict continuity” in the languages of these peoples, none deny the existence of at least some form of linguistic continuity between them. The aim of this article is to investigate whether we can suppose another form of continuity relating to their religiou…

  • Escape from the Land of the Dead

    Paolo OgnibeneARTICLEIran and the Caucasus2022

    Journeys in the afterlife are present within the literatures of many peoples, including the Ossetians. In the Tales of the Narts, the hero Soslan enters the Land of the Dead by force, and equally by force he manages to get out of it, and so he tells us what he has seen. This tale has many elements in common with and others profoundly different from Dante’s Comedy and Ardā Vīrāz nāmag

  • The Ancient Scythian Kings according to Herodotus

    Paolo OgnibeneARTICLEIran and the Caucasus2021

    In the fourth book of Herodotus’ Histories , in one of the two legends on the origin of the Scythians, we read the name of the progenitor of this people and his descendants. In the following paragraphs, Herodotus recalls names of other Scythian kings. These data cannot be useful in the traditional sense that genealogies have: they do not contribute in any way to date events or to put order in their sequence. They do not even help us to understand…

  • A Matter of Metals

    Paolo OgnibeneARTICLEIran and the Caucasus2020

    Vsevolod Miller in the third part of his Ossetic Studies considered the names of the metals both in Iron and Digoron, with particular reference to those of Finno-Ugric origin, in order to determine the way followed by the Alans to reach the Northern Caucasus in the first century A.D. In this paper Miller's theory is examined in the light of the historical linguistic data currently available

  • The genetic legacy of the Yaghnobis

    Open AccessElisabetta Cilli, Stefania Sarno et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2019References: 41

    OBJECTIVES: The Yaghnobis are an ethno-linguistic minority historically settled along the Yaghnob River in the Upper-Zarafshan Valley in Tajikistan. They speak a language of Old Sogdian origin, which is the only present-day witness of the Lingua Franca used along the Silk Road in Late Antiquity. The aim of this study was to reconstruct the genetic history of this community in order to shed light on its isolation and genetic ancestry within the Eu…
