The articles in this volume present, comment on and interpret primary sources from different eras : Achaemenid, Sasanian and post-Sasanian. While most of these sources were discovered in the 21st century, a few were already known. Recent Iranian surveys and excavations have uncovered : (1) new Sasanian sites in the region of Sar Mashad in the Pars, (2) Sasanian administrative bullae on Tappe Barnakoon, west of Isfahan, (3) a clay sealing with the impression of a royal seal of Peroz in Taxt-e Soleiman. New data forSasanian numismatics come from unpublished coins in the Johnson collection. Three documents from the «Tabarestan Archive», published in recent years, have been re-read and interpreted in the context of Zoroastrian law. Also, sources known from much longer have been the subject of new «readings». They highlight that the message these inscriptions and royal objects convey is strongly conditionedby the type of 'public' to which it is addressed.
