Dear Dominik, Madhav and Dipak, 
Perhaps still not THE most but at least MORE up to date (list of relevant publ. in chronological order, 1812-1976, at the end) is: 
"MiΘra in India and the Hinduized Magi" by H. Humbach in Acta Iranica 17 (1978): 229-253. 
Nagendra Nath Basu's publication not mentioned though.

Subject: Re: [INDOLOGY] Śākadvīpīya brahmans

By the way, is H. von Stietenkron's PhD, published in 1966 available online to read or download?

I have not read Stietencron’s thesis. So I do not know if he referred to the older account of the community available in Nagendra Nath Basu’s Vanger jātīya itihās ‘Caste history of Bengal’, Brāhmaṇakhaṇḍa (=Vol.1). Basu has other writings on them, in English too, but these require corrections and are not dependable.

I've discovered H. von Stietenkron's PhD, published in 1966, and Humbach's helpful review of it in the IIJ 12 (1969): 43-7.

Can anyone point me to some up-to-date information about Śākadvīpīya brahmans?  What did it mean to a twelfth to seventeenth-century author to identify himself as belonging to a Śākadvīpīya family?  Would such a family have retained cultural links to Central Asia and Eastern Iran, to Seistan?  I would have thought not.  But is there any scholarly exploration of this issue?

Many thanks,
Dominik Wujastyk
