Manu's Code of Law: A Critical Edition and Translation of the M-Anava-Dharmaś-Astra
ISBN: 9780195171464 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 1142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Manu's Code of Law is one of the most important texts in the Sanskrit canon, indeed one of the most important surviving texts from any classical civilization. It paints an astoundingly detailed picture of ancient Indian life-covering everything from the constitution of the king's cabinet to the price of a ferry trip for a pregnant woman-and its doctrines have been central to Indian thought and practice for 2000 years. Despite its importance, however, until now no one has produced a critical edition of this text. As a result, for centuries scholars have been forced to accept clearly...

King, Governance, and Law in Ancient India presents an English translation of Kautilya's Arthasastra (AS.) along with detailed endnotes. When it was discovered around 1905, the AS. was described as perhaps the most precious work in the whole range of Sanskrit literature, an assessment that still rings true.

Language, Texts, and Society: Explorations in Ancient Indian Culture and Religion
ISBN: 9780857284310 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This collection brings together the research papers of Patrick Olivelle, published over a period of about ten years. The unifying theme of these studies is the search for historical context and developments hidden within words and texts. Words - and the cultural history represented by words - that scholars often take for granted as having a continuous and long history are often new and even neologisms, and thus provide important clues to cultural and religious innovations. Olivelle's book on the Asramas, as well as the short pieces included in this volume, such as those on ananda and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Pancatantra is the most famous collection of fables in India and was one of the earliest Indian books to be translated into Western languages.

A Dharma Reader: Classical Indian Law
ISBN: 9780231179560 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Whether defined by family, lineage, caste, professional or religious association, village, or region, India's diverse groups did settle on a concept of law in classical times. How did they reach this consensus? Was it based on religious grounds or a transcendent source of knowledge? Did it depend on time and place? And what apparatus did communities develop to ensure justice was done, verdicts were fair, and the guilty were punished? Addressing these questions and more, A Dharma Reader traces the definition, epistemology, procedure, and process of Indian law from the third century...

The lesser known and explored of the two pillars of Hinduism--=a?rama and var.na--=a?rama is the name given to a system of four distinct and legitimate ways of leading a religious life: as a celibate student, a married householder, a forest hermit, and a world renouncer. In this, the first full-length study of the =a?rama system, Olivelle uncovers its origin and traces its subsequent history.

The Law Code of Viṣṇu: A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation of the Vaiṣṇava-Dharmaśāstra
ISBN: 9780674051393 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Law Code of Visnu (Vaisnava-dharmasastra) is one of the latest of the ancient Indian legal texts composed around the seventh century ce in Kashmir. Both because the Vaishnava-Dharmasastra is the only Dharmasastra that can be geographically located and because it introduces some interesting and new elements into the discussion of Dharmasastric topics, this is a document of interest both to scholars of Indian legal literature and to cultural historians of India, especially of Kashmir. The new elements include the first Dharmasastric evidence for a wife burning herself at her husband's...
