The role of the Yaγnob Valley in the historical framework of the Sogdian tradition has never been seriously considered. The Yaγnobis, isolated as they appeared in their remote homeland, have been usually treated as a living fossil of a lost culture, and, thus, mainly studied for their ethno-linguistic diversity, while also the origin and genesis of their presence in this mountain district deserve to be deeply evaluated from the historical point of view in the context of the Sogdian background.

Abstract
The role of the Yaγnob Valley in the historical framework of the Sogdian tradition has never been seriously considered. The Yaγnobis, isolated as they appeared in their remote homeland, have been usually treated as a living fossil of a lost culture, and, thus, mainly studied for their ethno-linguistic diversity, while also the origin and genesis of their presence in this mountain district deserve to be deeply evaluated from the historical point of view in the context of the Sogdian background.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
