After many years of hard work Prof. Molchanova managed to complete and get it published "The Encyclopedia of Mountain Altai Place-Names" in two volumes: Volume I contains 598 pages, Volume II has 506 pages. It is the second, expanded and revised, version of "Toponymic Dictionary of Mountain Altai", published in Gorno-Altaisk (the Russian Federation) in 1979 (scientific editor - Prof. A.T. Tybykova). The second edition contains more than 13000 topographical names of the Altai Republic, the origin of which receives a scientific explanation from the following families and language groups: Altaic (including Turkic and Mongolian languages), Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyedic, Yeniseian, and for a number of place-names the history of their occurrence is presented. The Encyclopedia is intended for a wide range of readers: linguists, geographers, historians and tourists.
Prof. Molchanova (Emeritus Professor of Linguistics, University of Szczecin) published it for her own money, that is why the number of copies is limited (just 100). No PDF version. The price of the book as suggested by the Publishing House is 110 euros + postal. The book may be interesting for people engaged in the study of aboriginal languages and the ancient and modern history of Siberia. Professor would be interested in the book distribution. If you want to buy it, will you, please, contact her via email 19000olga@gmail.com Thank you.
Дорогие коллеги, осталось 50 нереализованных Энциклопедий. Профессор Молчанова хотела бы, чтобы книга нашла читателей в Сибири. Ее могут заказать учреждения или купить вдвоем. Цена 110 евро плюс 33 евро пересылка из Берлина. Прошу писать по адресу 19000olga@gmail.com
Спасибо.
О.Молчанова.
