The International Institute for Central Asian Studies (IICAS) announces the 4^th and the last online lecture dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Prof. Vladimir LIVSHITS (1923 – 2017) to be given on October 06, 2023, by Dr. Pavel LURJE, Head of the Section for Central Asia and Caucasus, State Hermitage Museum. The lecture is entitled “New data on Turko-Sogdian monumental inscriptions from Kyrgyzstan”.

The lecture will be devoted to a few new readings of the inscriptions of the Upper Talas valley in Terek-say and Kulan-say as well as little known short inscriptions from Nookat in South Kyrgyzstan and Kuru-Bakayïr in midstream Talas. It is tacitly proposed that Kulan-say inscription might have been written by Manichaean elite of Qarluqs, while that of Quru-Baqayïr is perhaps Moslem and Nookat is either Christian or Moslem.

The lecture is open to everyone interested in the Sogdian heritage and will be held in Zoom in English. Simultaneous interpretation into Russian will be available. Please, feel free to join at the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89707773068?pwd=NU4xQnJvMUpRUHJucFpuWXB6OHhUdz09
