The Kandahar Edict affords evidence of three facts at the same time: the westernmost limit yet ascertained with regard to the spread of Buddhism, the easternmost limit with regard to a Greek inscription and the first Aramaic inscription discovered in the area reaching to the Indus. For these reasons, since its first publication in 1958 in S.O.R., the Edict has been the object of much study and research; this new edition has now been made taking into account all researches pursued in this field up to now. While the Greek part of the Edict has been revised by Prof. PUGLIESE-CARRATELLI himself, the Aramaic part has now been edited by Prof. G. GARBINI. The Introduction, due to Prof. U. SCERRATO, has been much enlarged, for the part relating to the history of the area where the inscription has been discovered.

Following an historical Introduction dealing with the ethnical communities inhabiting the Iranian plateau in the Middle Ages, and information on the discovery of the inscriptions, the Author gives a description of them, their text in Hebrew characters, and a transliteration in Latin characters, with Commentary and Translation. The work is enriched by a List of the Hebrew and Persian terms occurring in the new inscriptions, a List of the proper names, and the Bible passages mentioned therein.
