This paper presents a hitherto unedited section consisting of the texts of three fragments from the Turfan collection in Berlin (U 4209, U 4629b, and U 4630a-c) belonging to a printed folded booklet, of which other parts and a long colophon dated 1367 are known. In this colophon, the title of the text under discussion here is given as tözün maytri sudur “Sūtra of the Noble Maitreya” (*Ārya-Maitreyasūtra), but the contents show that it is rather unrelated to any Maitreya paripr̥cchā, but to a version of the Subāhu-paripr̥cchā (T. 343 太子刷護經: “Sūtra on the Questions of Subāhu”). Taken as a whole, the document is of some significance for the question of how Uyghur Buddhists worked on and with the Buddhist literary works they had at hand.
