Résumé anglais Catherine Poujol, The "Note on the commercial road from Semipala tinsk to Cashmere". The discovery in the nineteenth century by a Russian linguist of a text mentioning an unknown commercial road connecting Siberia to Cashmere through the high ranges of mountains of Chinese Turkestan represented, at that time, a study limited mainly to language and topographical particulars. The reason for a renewed examination bearing on this text is the interest that such a document presents inasmuch as it ascertains the commercial relations on the Russian-Chinese confines reminding of a glamorous past of these silk and fur roads that had lost since a long time their economic international significance. There remains to be seen whether this text is of real historical importance or whether it is simply an enthusiastic tale of an enterprising tradesman.
