(IV). 2010. “Indo-Iranian I: Indic” in Indo-European Language and Culture: An Introduction (Second Edition), 202-226. Chichester: Wiley-Blackwell. (Cf. also “Indo-Iranian II: Iranian” pp.227-247) JAMISON, Stephanie W. 2004. “Sanskrit”. The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages, ed. by R.D. WOODARD, 673-716. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. LAZZERONI, Romano. 1998. “Sanskrit”. The Indo-European Languages, ed. by A.G. RAMAT & P. RAMAT, 98-124. London & New York: Routledge. Dictionaries: *BÖHTLINGK, Otto & Rudolph ROTH. 1855-1875. Sanskrit-Wörterbuch (7 Vols.). St. Petersburg: Buchdr. der K. Akademie der Wissenschaften. (Known as the Petersburger Wörterbuch, and stands as the fundamental basis for all modern Sanskrit dictionaries. Online version searchable on the Universität zu Köln website: http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/PWGScan/disp2/index.php) *GRAßMANN, Hermann. 1873-1875. Wörterbuch zum Rig-Veda. Leipzig: F. A. Brockhaus. (Exhaustive. Unaltered reprints since the 3rd ed. (1955) by Harrassowitz Verlag in th Wiesbaden. The 6 edition of 1996 has been revised by Maria KOZIANKA, taking into account our improved understanding of the Vedic text, however the text of the dictionary has not been re-set.) LUBOTSKY, Alexander. 1997. A R̥gvedic Word Concordance. New Haven: American Oriental Society. (A new computer-prepared concordance based on NOOTEN and HOLLAND’s new metrically restored text.) MACDONELL, Anthony Arthur. 1924. A Practical Sanskrit Dictionary: With Transliteration, Accentuation, and Etymological Analysis Throughout. London: Oxford University Press. (A good hand-dictionary, but largely obsolete because of the online Cologne dictionaries.) MAYRHOFER, Manfred. 1956-1980. Kurzgefaßtes etymologisches Wörterbuch des Altindischen. Heidelberg: Carl Winter Universitätsverlag. *MAYRHOFER, Manfred. 1992-2001. Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Altindoarischen (3 vols.). Heidelberg: Carl Winter Universitätsverlag. (The standard etymological dictionary of Sanskrit. On occasion it refers back to the Kurzgefaßtes for in-depth discussion however, which is sometimes quite annoying.) *MONIER-WILLIAMS, Monier. 1899. A Sanskrit-English Dictionary - Etymologically and Philologically Arranged with Special Reference to Cognate Indo-European Languages. Oxford: Clarendon Press. (The print dictionary is organized by lexical roots; there is also a useful digitized online version searchable by headword on the Universität zu Köln website: http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/monier/) *WHITNEY, William Dwight. 1885. The Roots, Verb-Forms, and Primary Derivatives of the Sanskrit Language: A Supplement to His Sanskrit Grammar. Leipzig: Breitkopf und Härtel. (Handy for quick reference for forms derived to a particular verbal root. Cf. also WERBA 1997 under Morphology below.) NB: Sanskrit dictionaries follow the Indological alphabetical order, i.e. that of Devanāgarī: a ā i ī u ū r̥ r̥ ̄ l̥ k kh g gh n̄ c ch j jh ñ ṭ ṭh ḍ ḍh ṇ t th d dh n p ph b bh m y r l v ś ṣ s h. Dictionaries normally cite lexical roots in zero- grade as per the native lexicographical tradition, however some modern etymological dictionaries follow the 1 INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC – LENT TERM 2014 (MJCS) Indo-Europeanist practice of citing roots in the full-grade of the root (i.e. at guṇa strength), e.g. √r̥ -¹ ‘go’ would be found under √ar-¹. Grammars: COULSON, Michael. 1976. Teach Yourself Sanskrit. Kent: Hodder & Stoughton. (Surprisingly good, as far as Teach Yourself Books go. An excellent introduction to the Classical language based principally on Classical Sanskrit drama. Many reprints.) *GOLDMAN, Robert P. & Sally J. SUTHERLAND GOLDMAN. 1999. Devavāṇīpraveśikā: An Introduction to the Sanskrit Language (3rd ed.). Berkeley: University of California Press. (Lit. “Introduction to the Language of the Gods”. This book has arguably superseded COULSON (1976) as the best introduction to Classical Sanskrit available in English. It does however necessitate the learning of the Devanāgarī script from the very beginning, and its presentation of Sanskrit grammar with reference to the Indian grammatical tradition can at times obscure descriptions of finer points of grammar to the student from being entirely diglossic.) JACKSON, A. V. Williams. 1892. An Avesta Grammar in Comparison with Sanskrit - Part 1: Phonology, Inflection, Word-formation, with an Introduction on the Avesta. Stuttgart: W. Kohlhammer Verlag. (Useful for Indo-Iranian comparison.) MAYRHOFER, Manfred. 1972. A Sanskrit Grammar. Translated from the German with revisions and introd. by Gordon B. Ford. Huntsville: University of Alabama Press. (Handy, but the German version is better.) MAYRHOFER, Manfred. 1978. Sanskrit-Grammatik mit sprachvergleichenden Erläuterungen. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter. (A good pocket-grammar of Sanskrit.) *MACDONELL, Anthony Arthur. 1910. Vedic Grammar. Strassburg: K. J. Trübner Verlag. (The best English reference for Vedic grammar, but a little tricky to use – you won’t find a single paradigm here.) *MACDONELL, Anthony Arthur. 1916. A Vedic Grammar for Students. Oxford: Clarendon Press. (The student-abridged form of the preceding. Essential for reading; has a nice appendix of roots of verbs found in Vedic.) MORGENROTH, Wolfgang. 1973. Lehrbuch des Sanskrit.

    15 April 2013 Hamazor’s Future – Transition from Print to Digital Dear Member, This is a bittersweet moment in Hamazor’s immensely proud history. The members of WZO’s Managing Committee have consulted widely and debated this issue passionately. The free publication will go all-digital in 2015. The fourth issue of Hamazor in 2014 will be its last as a free print magazine. Bittersweet, we say. Bitter, because we’d be lying if we didn’t confess to a bruised and heavy heart. Like all people, we love print: always have, always will do. Sweet, because we are rising spiritedly to a challenge, not wringing our hands in impotent despair over the way modern life — and modern reading habits — will increasingly render our print edition unviable. In our judgment, we have reached a tipping point at which we can most efficiently and effectively reach our readers in all-digital format. This was not the case just two years ago. It will increasingly be the case in the years ahead. This decision is not about the quality of the brand or the writing - that is as powerful as ever. It is about the challenging economics of print publishing and distribution. Hamazor is produced by our executive editor Toxy Cowasjee, who has been offering an excellent production consistently since 2002. We will continue to build on Hamazor’s success and ensure your, its readers’ engagement. Exiting print is an extremely difficult moment for all of us who love the romance of print and the unique experience of producing, receiving and reading it.

FULL RECORD http://gretil.sub.uni-goettingen.de/gr_elib.htm NOTICE This file may be copied on the condition that its entire contents, including this data sheet, remain intact. GRETIL e-library Karl Friedrich Geldner Jürgen Hanneder (online-Version Oktober 2014)1 Geldners Leben und Wirken wurde in Nachrufen aus der Feder von akademischen Weggefährten recht prägnant dargestellt2 und es gab daher zunächst keine Möglich- keit, über diese Informationen aus erster Hand hinauszugelangen. Erst durch die Erschließung neuer Quellen in verschiedenen indologischen Nachlässen3 konnte die- ses Bild noch einmal ergänzt werden.4 Die folgende kurze Biographie Geldners soll vor allem dieser neuen Quellenlage Rechnung tragen. Karl Friedrich Eugen Geldner wurde am 17.12.1852 in Saalfeld als Sohn von Christian Friedrich Georg Geldner (1821–1890) geboren,5 welcher in Hildburghausen, später in Meiningen in verschiedenen kirchlichen Ämtern wirkte. Karl Geldner studierte wie der Vater in Leipzig, allerdings nicht Theologie, sondern Sanskrit und Avestisch bei Brockhaus und Windisch. Doch für aufstrebende Vedisten dieser Generation war der beste Studienort Tübingen, da man dort von Rudolph von Roth, der Koryphäe der sich erst entwickelnden vedischen Studien und dem verantwortlichen Veda-Spezialisten am sogenannten Petersburger Wörterbuch,6 den Fortschritt des Faches aus erster Hand erfahren konnte. Geldner meldete sich im Sommer 1872 bei Roth brieflich an und dieser antwortete am 10.6.1872,7 daß Geldner und sein Freund ihm »ganz willkommen sein« und er ihm gerne bei der »Wahl der Wohnungen« behilflich sein werde.

  • On Editing the Avesta
    On Editing the Avesta Almut Hintze “… nor should any text be sacred, unless it has first been perfectly emended.” Bartolomeo Perazzini 1775, p. 56 To the present day Avestan Studies largely rely on two monumental works, both published more than a hundred years ago: Karl Friedrich Geldner’s edi- tion of the Avesta of 1889–1896 and Christian Bartholomae’s Altiranisches Wörter buch of 1904. Attempts have been made to replace the latter, but so far none has come to fruition. Thus, for instance, Bernfried Schlerath’s Avestan dictionary project came to a standstill, although two volumes of Vorarbeiten, listing secondary literature and textual parallels, were published (Schlerath 1968). In addition, a related enterprise, Sonja Gippert-Fritz’s transliteration both of Geldner’s Avesta and of Avestan texts not included in his edition, has been electronically available since 1996 on the website of Jost Gippert’s TITUS project at the University of Frankfurt am Main. Moreover, within this project, Michiel de Vaan and others have supplemented the text of the Yasna with variant readings of manuscripts some of which Geldner did not use, most notably the Iranian Pahlavi Yasna Mf 4. The website thus not only provides the romanised text but also a database of variant readings which may serve as a tool for investigating “the consistency of readings and the interdependency of manuscript classes”.1 1. Westergaard and Geldner’s Avesta editions Editiors of the Avesta usually start from Geldner’s work, supplemented by Gippert’s electronic version.2 The authority which Geldner’s edition later ac- quired, however, greatly exceeded his own estimation of its scope.
