Wiesner Julius von. Über die ältesten bis jetzt aufgefundenen Hadernpapiere: ein neuer Beitrag zur Geschichte des Papiers

Vorgelegt in der Sitzung am 10. Mai 1911.
Wien, Hölder, 2011, 26 p.Julius von Wiesner’s pioneering study of the oldest specimens of rag paper of Central Asian origin was conducted soon after the discovery of large collections of manuscripts found in Dunhuang. This work, important for philology, codicology and paper history was fundamental to studies of paper as writing support of old manuscripts carried out at the beginning of the 20th century. The paper which von Wiesner examines is that of the Sogdian Ancient letters.
