ČANG


Čang from Ketāb al-adwār

ČANG; In Persian literature, particularly in poetry, the harp kept an important place.

ČANG “harp” (Pahl. čang, mentioned in Xusrō ī Kawādān ud rēdag, pars. 62-63), a musical instrument of the free-stringed family. According to Schaeffner (p. 128) the harp stems from the bowstring used by hunters and warriors in prehistoric times. The string or gut fastened onto the hollow cane of the hunter’s bow vibrates when pulled, causing the cane to resonate. The oldest known harps are arched like a bow with a sound box added to the lower end... more

by: Werner Sundermann


ASMUSSEN, Jes Peter, scholar of Iranian studies (b. 2 November 1928, Aabenraa [Åbenrå], North Sleswig; d. 5 August 2002, Copenhagen). He is, after Arthur Christensen and Kaj Barr, the third great representative of the Danish school of Iranian studies, which in the 20th century made an essential contribution to the exploration of pre-Islamic Iranian cultural and political history. More than his predecessors, Asmussen took an interest in, and concentrated his work on, the entire range of religions in Iran from Zoroastrianism to Islam; but he mainly focused on Manicheism, the study of which was revolutionized during the 20th century under the impact of the discovery of a multitude of original sources. He also concentrated his work on Christianity in ancient Iran and Jewish Persian literature, an obvious option thanks to his previous theological training. more
