The text material is made accessible through a database with various search options, both grammatical and philological.

It was created during an FWF-funded research project (no. P 25495) conducted at the Department for Linguistics of the University of Vienna. Funding ran from 24th June 2013 until 23rd June 2016.

The project aims to provide a comprehensive paleographic survey of the Brahmi variant of Central Asia and, to that end, develop digital tools for the study of this writing system, which will also be available to the public.
After introducing some preliminaries on our research object and the structure of our database, we present three case studies on Tocharian B that demonstrate how the system we are developing can already be used to gain new insights into the relationship between the different variants of the writing system, as well as the relationship between paleographic and linguistic variation.

This will allow the comprehensive paleographic investigation of this writing system. For this, all quantifiable features of all characters, ligatures, and words will be extracted and compared using software tools. Thus making it possible to identify scribes, scribal schools, as well as regional and diachronic variants of Tarim Brahmi.
In the XML database this linguistic, philological, and paleographic data will be combined and published through a web application.
