FEINTED BY GILBERT AND RIVINGTON, VD., ST. JOHN'S HOUSE, CLKBKENWEIL BOAD, E.C. This Catalogue has been compiled by Mr. J. F. Blumhardt, formerly of tbe Bengal Uncovenanted Civil Service, in continuation of the series of Catalogues of books in North Indian vernacular languages in the British Museum Library, upon which Mr. Blumhardt has now been engaged for several years. It is believed to be the first Library Catalogue ever made of Marathi and Gujarati books. The principles on which it has been drawn up are fully explained in the Preface. R. GARNETT, keeper of pbinted books. Beitish Museum, Feb. 24, 1892. PEEFACE. The present Catalogue has been prepared on the same plan as that adopted in the compiler's " Catalogue of Bengali Printed Books." The same principles of orthography have been adhered to, i.e. pure Sanskrit words (' tatsamas ') are spelt according to the system of transliteration generally adopted in the preparation of Oriental Catalogues for the Library of the British Museum, whilst forms of Sanskrit words, modified on Prakrit principles (' tadbhavas'), are expressed as they are written and pronounced, but still subject to a definite and uniform method of transliteration. Analogous principles are appUed to words of Persian or Arabic origin. It is satisfactory to observe that Marathi authors themselves have recognized the necessity of adopting a systematic method of spelling their names. "Where an English title-page is given, the author has generally followed the regular Sanskrit form of spelling, except perhaps in the omission of a final unexpressed inherent ' a.' Marathi names are composed generally of the personal name, followed by the father's name, and by a name denoting lineage, profession, place of residence or of birth, which is generally regarded in the light of an English surname. Wherever the full name has not been given by the author, it has been supplied if possible, Gujarati authors are so extremely lax and irregular in spelling their names, even in the native character, that to adopt their own forms would inevitably result in endless confusion, and it is therefore necessary to follow a systematic and fixed principle of spelling for cataloguing purposes.* The same difficulty, though in a lesser degree, has presented itself in the case of Parsi names. A systematic orthography has been adopted, by which an attempt is made to represent, as far as possible, the original Pehlevi forms, but without unduly interfering with the established usage of the Parsis of Gujarat. Thus, for instance, both " Minuchehrjl " and " Mancherji," " Peshotan " and " Pestanji," are to be found amongst the names of Parsi authors in the Catalogue, in accordance with the forms adopted by the men themselves. For the spelling of Indian geographical names, the system adopted in the second edition of Hunter's " Gazetteer " has been followed. J. F. BLUMHAEDT. London, Feb. 18, 1892. * The following are one or two instances of such inconsistency out of many that might be given, "EanachlKHlahliaiU(layaram"aiid"KunchodebhaiOoderam ;" ^?ftf^^^, ^niV^rWI and ^«m1^<4; 5TOrV?nit, ^it^ift^'t ^TO^ HT and TTO^ HJ.

  • Narsinh Mehta - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Narsinh Mehta - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Narsinh Mehta(1414? – 1481?) Narsinh Mehta (Gujarati:?????? ?????)also known as Narsi Mehta or Narsi Bhagat was a poet-saint of Gujarat, India, and a member of the Nagar Brahmins community, notable as a bhakta, an exponent of Vaishnava poetry. He is especially revered in Gujarati literature, where he is acclaimed as its Adi Kavi (Sanskrit for "first among poets"). His bhajan, Vaishnav Jan To is Mahatma Gandhi's favorite and has become synonymous to him. <b> Biography </b> Narsinh Mehta was born in the ancient town of Talaja and then shifted to Jirndurg now known as Junagadh in the District of Saurashtra, in Vaishnava Brahmin community. He lost his mother and his father when he was 5 years old. He could not speak until the age of 8 and after his parents expired his care was taken by his grand mother Jaygauri. Narsinh married Manekbai probably in the year 1429. Narsinh Mehta and his wife stayed at his brother Bansidhar’s place in Junagadh. However, his cousin's wife (Sister-in-law or bhabhi) did not welcome Narsinh very well. She was an ill- tempered woman, always taunting and insulting Narsinh mehta for his worship (Bhakti). One day, when Narasinh mehta had enough of these taunts and insults, he left the house and went to a nearby forest in search of some peace, where he fasted and meditated for seven days by a secluded Shiva lingam until Shiva appeared before him in person.

  • Dear Friends, Scholars and Critics This Is a Soft Copy of My Doctoral
    Dear Friends, Scholars and Critics This is a soft copy of my doctoral dissertation written during the final five years of the previous millennium .Apart from a fairly large theoretical component dealing with translation theory, practice of translation and translation studies, it consists of around ninety compositions of Narsinh Mehta (c. 15th century AD), one of the greatest poets of Gujarat translated by me into English. Besides a critical appreciation of his works, the translations are framed with chapters discussing his life, works and the cultural context in which they were composed. I have been working on the translations and they have metamorphosed into a very different avatar today. However, those presented here are the ones I submitted for the degree. There are some slight changes in this copy owning to my ignorance of formatting methods. The bibliography which appears at the end of the thesis comes before the `notes and references of the soft copy. The notes and references for the individual chapters now appear at the end of the thesis. The `Table of Contents’ is merely a showpiece- it doesn’t indicate the specified pages in this copy. I don’t intend to publish this thesis in the present form and it has appeared in parts in many places. The work which I started with my doctoral research is actually a work in `progress’ and I find it interesting to look back where I was some eight years ago. I would be honoured to hear your critical comments and reactions to my work.

  • D. D. Kosambi History and Society
    D. D. KOSAMBI ON HISTORY AND SOCIETY PROBLEMS OF INTERPRETATION DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF BOMBAY, BOMBAY PREFACE Man is not an island entire unto himself nor can any discipline of the sciences or social sciences be said to be so - definitely not the discipline of history. Historical studies and works of historians have contributed greatly to the enrichment of scientific knowledge and temper, and the world of history has also grown with and profited from the writings in other branches of the social sciences and developments in scientific research. Though not a professional historian in the traditional sense, D. D. Kosambi cre- ated ripples in the so-called tranquil world of scholarship and left an everlasting impact on the craft of historians, both at the level of ideologi- cal position and that of the methodology of historical reconstruction. This aspect of D. D. Kosambi s contribution to the problems of historical interpretation has been the basis for the selection of these articles and for giving them the present grouping. There have been significant developments in the methodology and approaches to history, resulting in new perspectives and giving new meaning to history in the last four decades in India. Political history continued to dominate historical writings, though few significant works appeared on social history in the forties, such as Social and Rural Economy of North- ern India by A. N. Bose (1942-45); Studies in Indian Social Polity by B. N. Dutt (1944), and India from Primitive Communism to Slavery by S. A. Dange (1949). It was however with Kosambi’s An Introduction to the study of Indian History (1956), that historians focussed their attention more keenly on modes of production at a given level of development to understand the relations of production - economic, social and political.

There are many languages all over the world took help of other scripts to express its literary values in terms of human phonetic and literary wealth of human civilization. In the history of Indian scriptology Marathi language had used Modi script during 12th century. It mainly came into the eyes of researchers because all documents were found in Modi script during the era of great Maratha emperor Shivaji Raje Bhosale also known as Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Modi-Script is one of the ancient scripts in India. Modi-Script was the official language to write Marathi documents and administrative papers till 19th century. Also, British Government decided to discard the use of Modi due to its complexity and non-uniformity and start the use of “Devanagari (Balbodh)”. Although, Modi was taught in the schools and it was used by the older generation till 1950. As time passed by the use of this very important script got reduced and it was on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, so many documents and manuscripts were found from the different parts of the world like London, Paris, Spain, Holland and South Asia.

  • Comparative Study of Indexing and Search Strategies for the Hindi, Marathi, and Bengali Languages
    Comparative Study of Indexing and Search Strategies for the Hindi, Marathi, and Bengali Languages LJILJANA DOLAMIC and JACQUES SAVOY University of Neuchatel 11 The main goal of this article is to describe and evaluate various indexing and search strategies for the Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi languages. These three languages are ranked among the world’s 20 most spoken languages and they share similar syntax, morphology, and writing systems. In this article we examine these languages from an Information Retrieval (IR) perspective through describing the key elements of their inflectional and derivational morphologies, and suggest a light and more aggressive stemming approach based on them. In our evaluation of these stemming strategies we make use of the FIRE 2008 test collections, and then to broaden our comparisons we implement and evaluate two language independent in- dexing methods: the n-gram and trunc-n (truncation of the first n letters). We evaluate these solutions by applying our various IR models, including the Okapi, Divergence from Randomness (DFR) and statistical language models (LM) together with two classical vector-space approaches: tf idf and Lnu-ltc. Experiments performed with all three languages demonstrate that the I(ne)C2 model derived from the Divergence from Randomness paradigm tends to provide the best mean average precision (MAP). Our own tests suggest that improved retrieval effectiveness would be obtained by applying more aggressive stemmers, especially those accounting for certain derivational suffixes, compared to those involving a light stemmer or ignoring this type of word normalization procedure. Compar- isons between no stemming and stemming indexing schemes shows that performance differences are almost always statistically significant.

WlttAjAMS &NORGATE, HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN. BERLIN, W. HERTZ, BEHRENSTRASSE 7. 1863. ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FIRST EDITION. THE need of a fixed system of orthography induced several of the missionary societies of London, a few years ago, to agree upon "Rules of reducing unwritten languages to alphabetical writing in Roman characters." These Rules, though imperfect, have been already applied with success to several African lan- guages. The societies were assisted in this work by the late Professor Lee of Cambridge, by Mr. Norris of London, and by Professor Lepsius of Berlin; but feeling it to be necessary for the establishment of any Standard system that an alphabet should be presented in a more complete form, and that the scientific principles should be explained upon which it was constructed, Professor Lepsius, at their request, kindly undertook this work, and has furnished the following admirable treatise, which will prove, it is hoped, an invaluable help to missionaries. The clear and scientific exhibition of vocal sounds which it contains will relieve Missionaries from many of their first difficulties in studying a foreign language, and will spare future translators much painful uncertainty respecting the powers of the letters which they employ. It has therefore been adopted by the Church Missionary Society as A STANDARD ALPHABET.
