This volume, the outcome of a seminar organized at the International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden, marks an important advancement in the study of South Indian Sanskrit manuscripts which are predominantly on palm leaf and rarely older than three to four centuries. Nevertheless, they continued a manuscript culture for around two millennia and had a profound impact on traditions of knowledge and culture. After an introductory essay (by J.E.M. Houben and S. Rath) addressing theoretical and historical issues of text transmission in manuscripts and in India’s remarkably strong oral memory culture, it contains twelve contributions dealing with South Indian manuscript collections in India and Europe (mainly of Vedic and Sanskrit texts) and with problems related to the scripts, the dating of manuscripts and India's literary and intellectual history. Contributors include: G. Colas, A.A. Esposito, M. Fujii, C. Galewicz, J.E.M. Houben, H. Moser, P. Perumal, K. Plofker, S. Rath, S.R. Sarma, D. Wujastyk, K.G. Zysk

A Two-Volume Festscrift In Honour Of Dr. Z.A. Desai, The Noted Historian And Epigraphist. Late Dr. Z.A. Desai Was Such A Scholar Who Never Belived In Canvassing For Portrayal Of His Image As Scholar. He Always Rendered Silent, Selfless And Sincere Service To The Study And Appreciation Of The Various Islamic Arts And Persian Literature In General And Perso-Arabic Epigraphy In Particular. A Great Scholar Of Arabic And Persian Of This Country. This Terminative Habit In Survey Is Even Now Eating Away The Backbone Of The Survey. The Result Is Scholars Are Being Guided By Clerks, Even In Techinical Matters. In This Volume We Have Retained The Method Of Referencing As Adopted By The Authors Themselves. The Views Expressed By Individual Authors Are Their Own. We Have Not Changed Them As We Believe In The Free Expression And Uninterrupted Flow Of Knowledge.
