Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to inform you about our latest update to the  Pārsīg Database: we have now included a significant collection of Middle Persian Manichaean texts, complete with transliterations and Persian translations. Each entry is annotated with nine layers of linguistic information, enabling detailed searches in Manichaean script, transliteration, and grammatical tags. We have also integrated manuscript images from the Turfanforschung Digital Turfan-Archive, offering invaluable context for researchers.

This expansion represents a major step forward in our mission to provide an ever-growing, easily accessible resource for scholars of Middle Persian studies and related fields. We would be delighted to explore opportunities for collaboration, whether through joint research, data sharing, or funding partnerships. If you or your institution might be interested in getting involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Feel free to visit us at parsigdatabase.com.
Thank you for your continued interest and support, and I look forward to potential collaborations that will help this project reach new heights.

Warm regards,
