We show that the quatrain “Старый доктор в обветшалой тоге...” (“The old doctor in the decrepit toga...” ) written in August 1943, which the compiler of the volume regards as unfinished, is in a fact a quite holistic extempore rhyme – the remake of a final strophe of Nikolay Gumilyov's rhyme “Bologna”. We bring forward the hypothesis that the first line of the Shengeli's quatrain contains an allusion to the first line of another Gumilyov's rhyme – “The spell” and we examine the connection between this quatrain and the rhyme “В шаге легком и упругом...” (“In the light and springy stride...”) written a month and a half later.

We analyze the Tocharian text, propose conjectures for lacunae and discuss the problem of the metrical structure of the Tocharian translation. The most important text, THT 1495, allows shedding light on the meaning of the obscure Tocharian A noun muki.

The journal’s central topic is formed by the two closely related languages Tocharian A and B, attested in Central Asian Buddhist manuscripts dating from the second half of the first millennium AD. It focuses on philological and linguistic aspects of Tocharian, and its relation with the other Indo-European languages.
Founded by Jörundur Hilmarsson.
Edited by Birgit Anette Olsen (executive editor), Hannes Fellner, Michaël Peyrot, and Georges-Jean Pinault.
