Otto Böhtlingk gehört zu den herausragenden Wissenschaftlern des 19. Jahrhunderts. Seine Arbeiten zur indischen Grammatik und vor allem sein epochemachendes Sanskrit-Wörterbuch prägten die indologischen Studien maßgeblich und trugen zu ihrer Weiterentwicklung bei. Der gebürtige Sankt Petersburger war Schüler von Franz Bopp in Berlin sowie von A. W. von Schlegel und Christian Lassen in Bonn. Früh wurde er an die Akademie der Wissenschaften seiner Heimatstadt berufen, der er bis an sein Lebensende angehörte. 1868 siedelte er schließlich nach Deutschland über, um sich vollständig seinen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten widmen zu können. Agnes Stache-Weiske untersucht Leben und wissenschaftlichen Werdegang des Indologen anhand seiner Korrespondenz, Briefe Dritter sowie unveröffentlichten Archivmaterials. Den Fokus legt die Biografie dabei sowohl auf Böhtlingks internationales wissenschaftliches Netzwerk als auch auf sein familiäres Umfeld und seine privaten Freundschaften. Seine Korrespondenz wirft dabei in vieler Hinsicht ein neues Licht auf Böhtlingks Persönlichkeit als Mensch und Forscher und zeigt, wie sehr er nicht nur mit den Gelehrten seiner Zeit, sondern auch mit dem wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs im Austausch stand.

Sir William Jones is best known for his famous Third Discourse of 1786 in which he proposed that Sanskrit's affinity to Greek and Latin could be explained by positing a common, earlier source, one known today as Indo-European. This brilliant thesis of language families laid the groundwork for modern comparative linguistics. Jones's interests and achievements, however, ranged far beyond language. He studied and made contributions to astronomy, botany, history, law, literature, music, physiology, politics, and religion. He served as a Supreme Court justice in India and founded the Asiatic Society, which stimulated worldwide interest in India and the Orient. He was friends with many of the leading intellectuals of his day and corresponded with Benjamin Franklin in America and with Burke, Gibbon, Johnson, Percy, and Reynolds in Britain. In his short life he mastered so many languages that even in his own time he was regarded as a phenomenon; and so he was. Garland Cannon, editor of The Letters of Sir William Jones, has written a new definitive biography of this fascinating man, who in his life and works teaches us that the path to understanding and appreciating the art and literature of a great culture very different from our own is through devoted study, a tolerant spirit, and an unquenchably curious mind.

This volume of the monumental reference series being prepared under the general editorship of Karl Potter provides summaries of the main works in the Grammarian tradition of Indian philosophy. Describing the functions of language on different levels, from ordinary empirical speech to the poetic intuition of the divine, the Grammarians sought to demonstrate that the correct grammatical use of language and the devotional chanting of mantras are ways of moving from lower to higher stages of knowledge and self-realization. This work gives special emphasis to the thought of Bhartrhari, the great systematizer of the Grammarian philosophy. For those unacquainted with Indian philosophy, the editors' introduction provides an explanation of the basic concepts found in the Grammarian texts.Grammarian thought is based on the Vedas, and the writings of Panini, Patanjali, Bhartrhari, and others develop implicit Vedic ideas about language and its function. Their works combine a grammatical analysis of Sanskrit language with a philosophy that takes language as divine.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
