Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Publisher by the Deptartment of Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1994. Xviii, 667 pgs. Harvard Oriental Series, 50. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in tan cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities (small stain present to the rear board). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This new edition of the Rgveda, the oldest Indian text in archaic Sanskrit, is the first to present the text (in Roman characters) in its original metrical arrangement and in a form that most closely approximates the pronunciation of the time of its composition. Nevertheless, as all the restorations deviating from the received traditional Samhita text are printed in italics, the traditional text can easily be reconstituted without reference to other editions. This had been sought for over a hundred years, yet a systematic restoration of the whole text has never before been attempted. Added is a study of the meters found in the text, their patterns and anomalies, and an appendix with a detailed discussion of each metrically problematic line.; Harvard Oriental, Vol 5; 177.8 X 44.45 X 254 millimeters; 700 pages.
