डान् क्विक्षोटः Don Quixote |
|
The present book contains a facsimile edition of a unique modern Kashmiri translation of five chapters from Cervantes’s famous Don Quijote. At the suggestion of the American accountant and book collector Carl Tilden Keller (1872–1955) and with the mediation of the Hungarian-born British explorer Sir Marc Aurel Stein (1862–1943) from November 1935 until September 1936 Pandit Nityanand Shastri (1874–1942) and Pandit Jagaddhar Zadoo (1890–1981) translated chapters I.45, I.46, I.50, II.6 and II.12 of the Spanish classic. However, for this purpose the two Kashmiri scholars did not use Cervantes’s original, but rather its English translation by Charles Jarvis (c. 1675–1739) prepared in the first half of the eighteenth century, and in particular the edition by the British Hispanist James Fitzmaurice-Kelly (1858–1923) published in 1907 for the Oxford World’s Classics series. In this book the Kashmiri translation and the corresponding parts of Jarvis’s English version are presented on facing pages. The Kashmiri text is reproduced as a facsimile of the autograph prepared by Pandit Jagaddhar Zadoo, one of the two Kashmiri translators. The Kashmiri text in the present volume was written on modern paper in easily legible Devanagari characters by using only a few more additional diacritic symbols. This publication contains an introduction written by Surindar Nath Pandita, a grandson of Pandit Nityanand Shastri. The book can be regarded as a conjoined twin of the partial Sanskrit translation of Don Quijote published as volume III of the Pune Indological Series in 2019. |

The present book contains a modern Sanskrit translation of eight chapters from the First Part of Cervantes’s monumental Don Quijote. At the suggestion of the American accountant and book collector Carl Tilden Keller (1872–1955) and with the mediation of the British explorer Sir Marc Aurel Stein (1862–1943) from November 1935 until August 1936 Pandit Nityanand Shastri (1874–1942) and Pandit Jagaddhar Zadoo (1890–1981) translated chapters I.2, I.3, I.8, I.10, I.16, I.17, I.18, and I.23 of Don Quijote. For this purpose the two Kashmiri scholars did not use the Spanish original, but rather the English translation by Charles Jarvis (c. 1675–1739) prepared in the first half of the eighteenth century and edited by the British Hispanist James Fitzmaurice-Kelly (1858–1923) in 1907 for the Oxford World’s Classics series. In this book both the Sanskrit translation and the corresponding parts of Jarvis’s English version are printed on facing pages. The Sanskrit text, typeset with a newly produced historical reconstruction of a Nagari typeface designed by the German critic, translator, poet, and Sanskritist August Wilhelm von Schlegel (1767–1845), has been edited on the basis of a unique manuscript which was written in Kashmir in the winter of 1936/37 and is now kept at the Houghton Library of Harvard University, USA. This publication includes an overview of the reception of Cervantes’s classic in India, as well as a detailed study of the fascinating history of the Sanskrit translation of Don Quijote and its still unedited partial rendering in Kashmiri. The printed book is accompanied by an audiobook containing the recording of the entire Sanskrit text read by Prof. Shrikant Bahulkar in Pune in 2017/18. |

Haribhaṭṭa’s Jātakamālā |
|
The present book contains the entire Sanskrit text of Haribhaṭṭa’s Jātakamālā (ca. AD 400), as far as it has been preserved in a few manuscripts presently accessible to us. Haribhaṭṭa’s work belongs to the Buddhist genre of “Garlands of stories about previous lives of the Buddha” and represents a rare specimen of early Sanskrit poetry written in the Campū style. Since 1904 when scholars first learned about Haribhaṭṭa’s Jātakamālā from Tibetan sources, it was assumed that the Sanskrit work has been irretrievably lost and that it has survived only in its Tibetan translation. Although in the 1970s some parts of the original Sanskrit text were discovered and later made known in various publications by the late Professor Michael Hahn, a complete and handy edition of the entire work did not appear in print. The present book aims to close this gap by offering a critical re-edition of all parts which have been previously published, and by supplying new editions of those parts which have not been published before. The Sanskrit text is fully annotated with text-critical notes and explanatory comments, and is followed by various indices and a glossary of unknown and noteworthy words. |

To Edit or Not to Edit |
|
The present book contains a series of lectures delivered at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (Paris) in March 2015 and at the Savitribai Phule Pune University (Pune) in October and November 2015. This volume grew out of efforts to teach the textual criticism of Sanskrit works in theory and practice. It covers the general theory of textual criticism, its history and practice in Sanskrit studies, and tries to offer concrete examples of newly edited texts in order to show that Sanskrit editing is not so much a specialist knowledge, but a basic skill for Sanskrit readers. |
