Turfan Manuscripts in the State Hermitage - a Rediscovery

Nikolai Pchelin, Simone-Christiane Raschmann Turfan manuscripts in the State Hermitage - a rediscovery Abstract: The article presents the results of a close cooperation of colleagues from the State Hermitage and the Göttingen Academy of Sciences (Union Catalogue of Oriental Manuscripts). 23 fragments of manuscripts and block prints in five different languages (Chinese, Old Uighur, Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Syriac) are described in detail. Almost all of them could be identified. They stem from the four German Turfan expeditions (1902- 1914) and were housed in the Museum für Völkerkunde (Berlin) for exhibition reasons, i.e. they belong to the most important findings of these expeditions. Nevertheless some of these fragments have never been published before. For a long time it was thought that they belong to the losses during World War II. Now they have been re-discovered in the depot of the State Hermitage. In the appendix an Old Uighur fragment of the Säkiz Yükmäk Yaruk is edited. It belongs to the re-discovered texts and was known up-to-now only from some quotations in an early edition. Key words: State Hermitage, German Turfan expeditions, Museum für Völkerkunde (Berlin), manuscript, block print, scroll, folded book, amulet, illumination, Chinese, Old Uighur, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Syriac, Säkiz Yükmäk Yaruk. The impressive exhibition “The Caves of One Thousand Buddhas. Russian Expeditions on the Silk Road”, organized in close co-operation in 2008- 2009 by the Hermitage Museum and the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts on the occasion of the 190 anniversary of the foundation of the Asiatic Museum deeply enhanced the long lasting cooperation between the German and Russian scholars working in the field of Central Asian studies, and Turfan studies in particular, and consequentially in 2012 an agreement of cooperation in the field of Turfan studies between the Director-General of the State Hermitage, the President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and the President of the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities was signed in March 2013. The long tradition goes back even to that time, © Nikolai Georgievich Pchelin, State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg © Simone-Christiane Raschmann, Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, Katalogisierung der Orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland, Alttürkische Handschriften aus den Turfanfunden when Russia and Germany were organizing and undertaking their archaeological expeditions to East Turkestan (todays Xinjiang Autonomous Region in the PR of China) at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th cc. When the Berlin Museum für Völkerkunde started its efforts to join the exploration of the ruined sites of East Turkestan they highly benefited from the already earned experiences by their Russian colleagues and even were offered manifold support in organizing and completing the German Turfan expeditions. Although the plans for joined Russian-German campaigns failed, we have knowledge of a broad exchange of information concerning the results of their respective campaigns, the on-going research on the findings, which was in certain fields even conducted in close cooperation and the exchange of publications in this particular field. When the above mentioned exhibition was opened to the public in December 2008, it presented not only the results of the Russian archaeological activities in Central Asia, but the State Hermitage for the first time also put on display wall paintings which were brought from Turfan and the surrounding areas to Berlin by the four German Turfan expeditions (1902-1914) and which have been kept in the archives of the State Hermitage since the end of WW II.1 It was already in autumn 2002 when Marianne Yaldiz, the at-that-time Director of the Berlin Museum of Indian Art (todays Museum für Asiatische Kunst and former Museum für Völkerkunde) together with the Museum’s conservator were invited by the Director-General of the State Hermitage Mikhail Piotrovsky to have a look at the Berlin collections of Indo-Asian art in the Hermitage stores.2 Back in Berlin she immediately gave an oral report to the Berlin Turfan research group at the Academy and let them know that there are also several precious Turfan manuscripts in different languages and scripts from the Berlin collection preserved amongst the objects from Berlin. The announcement of the surviving of all these objects was applauded by the community of Central Asian scholars worldwide, although the details of the single objects were not clear at this moment. In the course of the exhibition and during visits to St. Petersburg in order to take part at several international conferences like that of “Dunhuang Studies: prospects and problems for the coming second century of research” (September 2009), the 53. Permanent International Altaistic Conference (July 2010) and “Sergei Fedorovich Oldenburg: Scholar and Academic Research Organizer” (September 2013) the members of the Berlin Turfan study 1 Peshchery tysiachi budd, 426-455: Prilozhenie 2. Pamiatniki iz kollektsii Griunvedelia. 2 See the report of this visit, written by Marianne Yaldiz, cf. YALDIZ 2005, 2-3. groups of the Berlin and the Göttingen Academy of Sciences were offered not only the chance to view the whole collection of wall paintings from the German Turfan expeditions preserved in the depot of the State Hermitage, but also a number of fragments which belonged to the Berlin Turfan text collection in former times. In cooperation with Peter Zieme we were able to make a provisional inventory list of these fragments and collected as much data as possible from every item. Back in Berlin we were able to identify the up to this time thought to be lost during WW II Turfan fragments. They all belong to this limited part of Turfan fragments which used to stay in the Berlin Museum für Völkerkunde mostly for exhibition reasons, when in 1926 the vast majority of the Turfan texts was handed over to the newly founded “Orientalische Kommission” of the Prussian Academy of Sciences for philological research and publication. 3 These circumstances already make clear that the rediscovered Turfan texts in the State Hermitage belong to the most important findings of the German Turfan expeditions and it is no wonder that most of them were already published or at least quoted by the so-called first generation of Turfan researchers shortly after their discovery in the first decades of the 20th c. In the following we will give a detailed overview of the manuscripts and block prints from the Berlin Turfan collection in the depot of the State Hermitage, which, as seen in the photos, are very poorly preserved. The rediscovered manuscripts and block prints Altogether up to now 23 fragments of manuscripts and block prints are registered in the provisional inventory list. Among them ten fragments of Chinese manuscripts, one fragment with Sanskrit text on one side and Chinese on the opposite side, seven fragments of Old Uighur manuscripts and four fragments of Old Uighur block prints, one Syriac fragment and one Tibetan fragment. Some of the fragments are illustrated. What follows is a description of the single items with known references and catalogue entries. Some of the fragments have been unpublished yet. A detailed study and edition of these fragments (Chinese, Syriac and Tibetan) we put aside for the specialists in these fields.4 3 Cf. GRAPOW 1950, 1-29. 4 We have to thank our colleagues Peter Zieme, Klaus Wille and Tsuneki Nishiwaki for their friendly support.

These notes were most probably added during the packaging of the Museum’s objects in order to prepare their transport to places for safekeeping during the war. 9 Cf. RACHMATI 1937, 73.

Turfanexpedition (1904-1905). Letzte Ausstellung: unbekannt, unpubliziert.“ Appendix Edition of the Säkiz Yükmäk Yaruk fragment ВФ-4201 (**U9232, T III TV 61/T III 84) The preserved fragment is framed. The wooden frame makes it clear that this manuscript must have been on display in the exhibition’s Turfan department of the Museum für Völkerkunde. On the top of the upper bottom line in red color there are added some line numbers in small pencil script. Probably it happened in the course of the work on this manuscript. The first number marked the tenth line. According to this numbering the first visible text line in the framed manuscript is line four. Probably the lines in front of this fourth line are covered by the frame. It is because the full text of this fragment had been never edited before that in the following the text of this fragment is published here. Some quotations are present in the edition of W. Bang, A. von Gabain and G.R. Rachmati in Türkische Turfantexte VI (TT VI), which is the first edition of the full text of the Säkiz Yükmäk Yaruk (SYY).42 Another, much more important reason is that Juten Oda, who recently published an excellent and detailed study on this popular Old Uighur text, was not able to take this manuscript into consideration because it’s surviving was still unknown at this date. In his investigation of the different Old Uighur manuscripts he was able to detect two main versions of the text which he subdivided into two subgroups each, i.e. text versions Ia and I b, as well as IIc and IId. By studying the text of the rediscovered manuscript, labelled as B 25 in TT VI, we are now able to note that Oda’s text version IIc is the closest, but not completely identical one to the SYY text of the manuscript on hand. For the parallel text cf. BANG/GABAIN/RACHMATI 1934 (B 25) and ODA 2010, 117-140: ll. 151- 289 (Text volume). The most striking text variants are marked and a short comment is added in footnotes.
