There is discussion of the relative chronology of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka upaniṣad in Bronkhorst's Greater Magadha, esp. chapter IIA.3 and in part III Chronology.  The discussion is mainly in the context of the doctrine of Yājñavalkya's teachings and ātman, karman and punarjanman, and does not discuss the Īśāvāsyopaniṣad specifically.

Dear Colleagues,

     I have been rereading Professor Paul Thieme's article on the Īśopaniṣad published in the JAOS.  In one of his discussions, he seems to claim that the Chāndogya-Upaniṣad is older than the Īśa.  Here is that passage:

What is a good modern discussion about the relative chronology of the "older" Upaniṣads?  Has anyone discussed Thieme's views?  With best regards,
