This is the publication of Pamir linguistic material gathered by Ivan Zarubin (1887-1964), the leading Soviet specialist in the Pamir languages and a long-time curator at the Kunstkamera in Leningrad. The material was recorded in 1915-1916 in the villages of Sipondzh and Imts on the Bartang river and Barushon on the Panj, and it continues his Orosori texts printed in the Transactions of the 1928 Pamir Expedition (Leningrad, 1930). It consists of several poetic texts in two closely related Eastern Iranian dialects, a short dictionary, and a Shughni folk tale given in both Bartangi and Rushani versions for comparison. The introduction describes how the two dialects interact and merge, with local subvarieties distinguished by village. The texts are set in parallel columns in a phonetic transcription, with a Russian translation beneath, followed by the dictionary and an index to it. Bartangi is spoken by a few thousand people in the mountains of Gorno-Badakhshan in Tajikistan, and Zarubin's volume remains a primary source for it. The book appeared in an edition of only 750 copies as the first number of the Iranica series of the Marr Institute, edited by its director, Academician Meshchaninov. As an academic publication from a small print run, copies are scarce outside specialist libraries. This one carries library stamps and accession marks of a Georgian state library. It will interest collectors of Iranian and Pamir linguistics, Central Asian dialectology and Soviet academic publishing of the 1930s.
