from the date of Khusraw Khan's usurpation rather than from that ruler's downfall. It would follow too that Muhammad's accession occurred on 1 Sha'ban 724 (24 July 1324). For what it is worth, this is precisely the date furnished by an external observer writing in the 1340s, the Coptic chronicler al-Mufaddal, whose information was apparently derived from a Delhi shaykh (al-Nahj al-sadid, ed. and trans. Samira Kortantamer, Agypten und Syrien zwischen 1317 und 1341, Freiburg i. Br., 1973, text p. 27, tr. p. 104).
从胡斯鲁汗篡位的日期开始，而不是从统治者的垮台开始。由此也可以推断，穆罕默德的即位发生在724年夏班1日(1324年7月24日)。不管它的价值是什么，这正是一个外部观察者在13世纪40年代写的文章所提供的日期，科普特编年史家al-Mufaddal，他的信息显然来自德里的shaykh (al-Nahj al-sadid，编辑和翻译)。Samira Kortantamer，埃及和叙利亚zwischen 1317和1341,Freiburg i. Br。， 1973，正文第27页，tr. 104页)。

Brigitte Groneberg's book is a thoughtful and discursive essay on a number of problems in the grammar, understood in the broadest sense, of a Babylonian dialect. With one comprehensive dictionary complete and another, even more comprehensive, moving in that direction, with a basic general grammar of Akkadian and several survey-grammars of the various historical stages and geographical dialects in existence, it is entirely appropriate that we should have a close study of a chronologically limited and genre-bound corpus of texts which nevertheless broaches wider questions not dealt with by the more general grammars, and approaches them from a viewpoint which is not blind to contemporary developments in general linguistics and literary studies. If this book proposes new answers to questions about the character of the Akkadian language, and suggests new ways of looking at the analysis of forms, syntax and style, then it may be accounted a success, even if not all readers will agree with all the positions taken. In a way, Syntax, Morphologie und Stil … is a successor to Erica Reiner's A Linguistic Analysis of Akkadian, which also brought modern linguistic work – in this case the theory of generative grammar – to bear on its subject, with brilliant results, but concentrated more on a systematic survey of the entire grammar. Groneberg's book is more selective in its aim.

The Kashkul represents what M. G. S. Hodgson has termed "education as conservation", characteristic of Muslim culture from the thirteenth century onwards, the goal of which was both to transmit the cultural heritage of the past and to guide the educated man in the ideals of the good life, both worldly and spiritual. Adab literature is the chief vehicle of the paideia of the Muslim world, and anthologies such as the Kashkul reflect the varied aspects of this paideia. Professor Bosworth has succeeded in presenting a detailed picture of the elements historical, biographical, and literary involved in the making of a still valuable and entertaining work, and has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the elusive genre of the literary anthology.

With the death of Professor Eric Stokes we lost above all a delightful man, unassuming and helpful, intellectually vital and original. He helped inspire a new emphasis upon social and economic history among a whole generation of historians of South Asia. There are many people more appropriate than I to reflect this legacy in a memorial lecture. My only claim to speak may seem to be my continuing admiration for and dependence upon Stokes's work. If I have a wider claim, it must be in the emphasis which I place in my own research upon an empirical study of ideas and their impact; there is some justification for identifying members of the School of Oriental and African Studies with this approach, and it may be associated with us even more in future. If so, our starting-point must be Stokes's great pioneering effort, in The English Utilitarians and India, to identify the intellectual basis of Indian policy-making in the first half of the nineteenth century. Yet in South Asian studies generally Stokes has had relatively few followers along that path. Among Cambridge historians this first love (if ever they felt its charms) has tended to be supplanted by a positive distaste for flirtations with the impact of ideas. If Stokes is their model, it is in his role as an analyst of agrarian society, as may be enjoyed in his contribution to the Cambridge Economic History or in The Peasant Armed, and in parts of that arguably transitional collection, The Peasant and the Raj.

difficulty, and tries to provide a morphological explanation in the final chapter, by invoking R. S. P. Beekes's account of very early PIE nominal accentual patterns. At this very early stage, it is suggested, words with voiceless stops in the root belonged to a type of paradigm which had fixed root accent: this type disappeared early because of various inconvenient characteristics such as coincidence in form of nominative and genitive singular, and the nouns with high tone in their roots borrowed accented endings from the other type, thus becoming oxytones.
