I am grateful for Matthew Kapstein correction and truly sorry that I was
wrong, that the US collections are so poorly maintained and that they have
been studied so little.

books online as this organization has done with Dipak Bhattacharya's
Paippalaada Sa.mhitaa edition fully legal? (As far as I can see no copyright

Dear Dr. Abhijit Ghosh,

    This is just to inform you of the availability of part of the Pippalada
Samhita in Devanagari script and its chanting on the portal www.vedamu.org
<http://www.vedamu.org/>  .  This is in veiw of your association with the
projects of research into the Pippalada sakha of Atharvaveda.  If you so
choose, you may inform the other scholars associated with the research
projects.

Kind regards - K.R.Paramahamsa.

Subject: Job advertisement in medical history
Message-ID: <161227074294.23782.9038932033936640564.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

The research centre where I work at University College London is
advertising a new post.  Details at:

  http://www.ucl.ac.uk/histmed/news.html

This isn't an indological job as such, but history of medicine.  However,
the advertisement says "Any and all fields will be considered, although we
have identified three areas of particular need: 1) the medieval period,
with working research skills in Arabic, Latin, or Hebrew; 2) gender and
medicine; 3) modern biomedical science and medicine."  So an indologist
with the right combination of interests certainly wouldn't be ruled out.

Asianists currently working at the Wellcome Centre include Sanjoy
Bhattacharya (India, international), Vivienne Lo (China, CAM), Alex McKay
(Tibet), Nandini Bhattacharya (India), Hormuz Ebrahimnejad (Iran), Kanwen
Ma (China), Leela Sami (India), Guy Attewell (India), and myself.  Hal
Cook, our Director, works on the Dutch East India company, and Andrew Wear
also works on colonial medicine in India and elsewhere.

I bring this to the attention of INDOLOGY members out of general interest;
please circulate it to anyone or any group you think would be interested.

Best,
Dominik

Can't imagine this being from Kaalidaasa, with a metrical fault in 'tu hyastanam'.  The fifth syllable in each of the feet of the classical AnuSTubh is supposed to be laghu.  Also the expressions "dinam pazya' and 'jIvam kRtvA' don't sound like classical skt.  Is this some kind of modern Skt rendering from English?

Thanks very much Arlo! This will be useful for interested students. I

statement: "In fact, no part of Vedic literature is prescriptive." (p.

Dear colleagues,

I give here below an extract from the still unpublished
Dak.si.naavartanaatha (13th century?)'s Commentary (diipikaa) on
Kaalidaasa's Kumaarasambhava, canto 1 v. 20 (athaavamaanena pitu.h

The quotation from the Brahmaa.n.dapuraa.na, which cannot be traced in the
published "vaayuprokta" B.dP (Venkateshvara/Chowkhamba/Nag/Motilal same ed.
- the Satii myth is told there in 1,2.13.42-81 ? VaaP 30.38-73 ? BrP
34.7-45 ? "original" SkP 10.13-33), so refers to a tiirtha which would have
been called Satiideha, somewhere on the Mahaasaras. The latter (also given
as Mahatsaras) appears to be a sacred lake, referred to in MBh CE 12,
148.11 and 13,105.45 among other tiirthas such as Pu.skara, Prabhaasa, and
the Maanasa lake. That place could hardly be the same as Kanakhala (near
Haridvaara, in the Ga;ngaadvaara) given by the /SivaP as the place of
Saatii's death (cf. Annemarie Mertens, Der Dak.samythus in der
episch-puraa.nischen Literatur, Wiesbaden, 1998).
Does somebody know such a place called Satiideha or one text referring to
it?

I am not aware if this work was ever translated into English. The dates of
the author are also not certain. However, the first published edition in
the Trivandrum Sanskrit series was based on two palm leaf manuscripts from
the Palace library.
The author's name is: Virupaksanathapada
There aren't any other works by this author that I am aware of.

Hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Bindu

I doubt whether Virupaakshapancaasikaa has ever been translated into
English.
It was first published in Trivandrum Sanskrit Series (TSS); then from
Sampurnanad Samskrit University, Varanasi in their Yogatantragranthamala
series with the commentary of Vidyachakravarti. Most probabaly available at
Sampurnanad Samskrit University,

Message-ID: <161227074374.23782.4921974172852929699.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

Dear All:

I discover mistakes and blunders as soon as I open a new book for the
first time; a phenomenon, I trust, you are all familiar with. There
are many in the several translations I have published over the years;
especially in the widely-used translation of the Upanisads published
in the Oxford World's Classics Series.

I have now put all the needed correction for the Upanisads and for
other books on my web site. You can access them at the following URL:
http://asnic.utexas.edu/asnic/olivelle/books.htm

It was difficult to get the diacritics to work on both the PC and MAC
platforms; so we have made images for the diacritics; pardon the
roughness observed sometimes

Thanks.

I believe the facsimile edition has just been, or is certainly about
to be, published by the team at Taisho University (The Institute for
Comprehensive Studies of Buddhism, Taisho University). Although their
webpage does not seem to have been recently updated, their previous
facsimile publications (Sravakabhumi, Vinayasutra, Abhisamacarika)
are available from the following url:

In any case, Yoshiyasu Yonezawa would certainly be able to help.

A manuscript of an essay by Stcherbatsky has been discovered, edited

When I tried to use this cite, and download the article in question
in pdf form, I found, as perhaps did others, the link broken (it is
possible also to read it simply within the website, however). Now, Mr
Dmitry Olenev has asked me to convey to the list the information that
he has repaired the link and one may download the pdf (as indeed I
have verified).

He also added the following:   A number of misprints are scattered
over the paper, but all of them were present in the printed original.

Several days ago the following was announced here:
A manuscript of an essay by Stcherbatsky has been discovered, edited
and published by Y.V. Vasilkov; it has been made available online at
<http://www.indology.ru/article642.html>.

I didn't announce it here. The manuscript was announced only to the H-Buddhism list. I thought there is nobody here interested in Buddhist Logic. And I am not sure also are there colleages interested in real online publishing projects not in writing letters only to mailing lists. If anybody has some good idea and needs free hosting account and one's own subdomain on www.indology.net to realise it, please, feel free to contact me with details of your project.

So far, I am a little bit disappointed in the Indology Internet community worldwide. People prefer to discuss ad nauseam and for ages the Out of India Theory and some stupid Hindu fundamentalist issues instead of putting some efforts to making their achievements online available for the entire scholarly community.

> Now, Mr Dmitry Olenev has asked me to convey to the list the information that

This was also a server problem. We have upgraded to a new Linux kernel, then - facing so many problems - had to degrade to the old one. The solution was to shortcopy the link and then put it for download in your FlashGet or GetRight. Any attempt to download the files using IE led to broken downloads.

> A number of misprints are scattered over the paper, but all of them were present in the printed original.

Most of them have been removed from the HTML version, like Madhynata instead of Madhyanta, some stylistic mistranslations, etc. The PDF has been left as is in the printed edition.

The phrase "out of India" has occurred only about 100 times in the

three years, ...  until Plamen himself used the expression.

I can understand and sympathise with Plamen's criticism of the many

New Journal

        Asian Medicine - Tradition and Modernity

AMTAM is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at researchers and
practitioners of Asian medicine in Asia as well as in Western countries.
It makes available in one single publication academic essays that explore
the historical, anthropological, sociological and philological dimensions
of Asian medicine as well as practice reports from clinicians based in
Asia and in Western countries.

With the recent upsurge of interest in non-Western alternative approaches
to health care, AMTAM will be of relevance to those studying the
modifications and adaptations of traditional medical systems on their
journey to non-Asian settings. It will also be relevant to those who wish
to learn more about the traditional background and practice of Asian
medicine within its countries of origin. On account of its appeal to
scholars from a range of academic backgrounds (such as history,
anthropology, philology, sociology, archaeology) as well as to
practitioners based in Asia and in Western medical institutions and
alternative health care settings, the journal constitutes a unique
resource for both scholarly and clinically focused institutions.

Subscribe now! This is the first ever journal uniquely devoted to a
careful mix of practice and scholarship on Asian medicine and its success
is dependent on a co-operative endeavour between the Society and its
members.

The contents list of the first issue is in the flyer on
the website (downloadable PDF).

Please contribute by subscribing now online

and/or submitting papers that might be published in Asian Medicine. Many
thanks,

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

Almost exactly a year ago I had to pleasure to announce the
availability from Gene Smith's Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center
(TBRC) of the CD-ROM  publication of the Derge Kanjur, and then
subsequently of the Tanjur from the same printing house. (These two
collections are, of course, still available.)

Now it is once again my pleasure to announce the publication of their
next big canon project--the sTog Palace Manuscript Kanjur on CD-ROM,
containing pdf files scanned directly from the re-print edition of
this so-called Western Kanjur. The price for the set is, once again,
as it was for the Derge Kanjur, a mere $195.

As before, direct your inquires to http://www.tbrc.org.

I might also mention that the same TBRC has also made available the
collected works of a number of scholars, including those of Tsong kha
pa, Taranatha, Bu ston and many others. The prices for these vary
according to the size of the materials included on the discs, but all
are as close to free as you are likely to find this side of the Pure
Lands (where, presumably, one has no need for CD-ROM since the sounds
of the Dharma are constantly wafting through the air anyway...).

With apologies for cross-posting to H-Buddhism and Indology, JAS

TIFF is a great archiving format for scanned images because it is
lossless, and because it enjoys extremely broad support and can
easily be converted to just about any other format.  In contrast
with this, the compression that is used for embedding images in
PDF files is to the best of my knowledge always lossy.  So it is
not only complicated to extract images from a PDF (depending on
your software), but you also lose quality in the process.

Another consideration is filesize.  Precisely because it is lossy,
a PDF file might be smaller than a collection of non-lossy
compressed TIFFs, but black-and-white images tend to be a special
case where the tradeoff might actually be the other way around.

Thirdly, since you mention XPDF, one problem that I experience
with recent versions of that program is that while outline text
rendering seems to have become faster, rendering of full-page
embedded images is now unbearably slow (on a 700 MHz computer),
making it practically useless for any real work with a document.

For my own scanning projects, I now use the DjVu format, which
combines the advantages of PDF (easy navigation) with that of TIFF
(lossless compression of black-and-white images and easy
conversion to other formats), has small file sizes and renders
very fast indeed.  DjVu has an open specification and a complete
free software implementation is available:

   http://www.djvuzone.org/
   http://djvu.sourceforge.net/
   http://www.planetdjvu.com/

One could argue that PDF is designed for real digital text content
(with proper encoding of characters and outline glyphs), while
DjVu is the technically superior solution for written documents
scanned as images.

I was made aware of DjVu by Bill Mahony?s 7 November announcement
to this list of the Muktabodha archive, which uses this format, as
apparently do a large number of other libraries and archives.

Stefan Baums

Richard,

I also used pdftoppm, but within a (equally slow and rather tedious)
process with different goals. Being mainly interested in bsTan-'gyur
data, I wanted to extract all individual folios from the pdf-files which
often contain many works, and then build a navigation model, in order to
find individual folios easier. This process can be partly automatised;
the rest would take some time, but I'm not in a hurry and am planning to
continue with this depending on the texts I'm reading. (I'm just doing
this for my own convenience but would be happy to share any usable
results with the TBRC or others.)
I also wanted to fit the entire bsTan-'gyur data on one CD, compressing
the images (jpg) as much as possible, with the main target being screen
legibility, not print. In this I didn't quite succeed, which may be due
to my own inexperience with image manipulation technology.

I haven't worked a lot with TIFF-data; could you perhaps spell out some
of the things one could do with these TIFF-files - apart from converting
them into other formats? OCR is the most obvious candidate, but is there
already reasonable software around for Tibetan blockprints?


Best regards,

Birgit Kellner

Fundamentalism and sectarianism are the two present-day Extremes in Buddhist Dharma between which a true madhyanta-vibhaga should be made. I can point to at least one site that in a most original way exemplifies both alternatives of the said koti.

http://www.vajrasana.org

Greetings,

Plamen

BTW, from time to time I happen to moderate the Buddhist Philosophy forum at www.e-sangha.com, and the moderatorial team is much concerned about possibly evading the fate of the Tryke boards, closed because of too much dark-zen Buddhist sectarianism. They are also concerned about not too high-pitchingly voicing the "fight" against sectarianism, which may eventually be interpreted as Gelug-pa or other type of fundamentalism.

I don't think that there is any doubt about the value of this
collection. My only reservation is that all digital texts seem to be
available only in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF files):

 http://www.tbrc.org/catalog/order.php

This is a little disappointing. I would have preferred the texts to
have been available in the Tag(ged) Image File Format (TIFF files):

 http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/PDFS/TN/TIFF6.pdf (specs)

TIFF images of digital texts tend to be easy to manipulate using a
wide variety of applications.

So my question is whether any readers have been able to successfully
convert TBRC PDF files into TIFF files (preferably multi-page
files). I have experimented on my BSD machine with `pdftoppm' (from
XPDF bundle) followed by `ppm2tiff' (from libtiff bundle). This does
work, but it is slow and tedious. I can imagine that this route would
soon become a nightmare if one had a good number of TBRC PDF files to
convert.

I would very much appreciate any thoughts on this issue.


Best regards,

 RBM

I haven't much to add to Stefan's summary except to note that I've
found multi-page TIFF files especially useful. These days I tend to
spend more time in front of scanners than photocopiers.

The following links give general information.

 i.) LibTIFF - TIFF Library and Utilities :

  http://www.libtiff.org/

 ii.) TIFF Tools Overview :

  http://www.libtiff.org/tools.html

N.B. in addition to the tools detailed above, recent versions of
libtiff (tiff-v3.6.1 on my beast) contain `tiff2pdf'. This can convert
a multi-page TIFF file into a PDF file.


For viewing TIFF images you could use :

 i.) viewfax

  http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/viewfax1.html

 ii.) XnView

  http://www.xnview.com/


For manipulating TIFF images -- and a number of other formats -- you
could try the VIPS and NIP image processing system :

There is no English and/or French translation of Rudrayamalatantra
available, to my knowledge.

Subject: TBRC sTog and other files: PDF/TIFF
Message-ID: <161227074446.23782.7495858202167841490.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

Follow up:

Gene Smith has written to me as follows regarding the available file
formats for TBRC materials. Let me emphasize something here: TBRC is
a non-profit organization, into which Gene and others are pouring
their expertise and incredible energy for the sake of the broader
scholarly (and Tibetan) community. We can hardly expect them to
direct a significant portion of that energy to anything other than
the production and presentation of useable data. This is not to
negate the great value and importance of further manipulations of
that data. Perhaps, as Birgit herself has alluded to, scholars with
expertise in technical matters and the appropriate passion for this
material can approach TBRC and Gene directly with a view to their
collaboration in the development of long-term tools for the further
exploitation of the data he is so generously (and I repeat, so
cheaply) making available.

Notice in particular below the offer that for those with
institutional (or unusual personal) resources, the materials can be
made available in TIFF format. I may note that we here have been in
discussions with TBRC about acquiring the whole of the materials for
the UC Library system, in which case they are deliverable on external
hard drives (rather than CD) suitable for posting on password
protected and access restricted servers, such as those of a
university library. Especially scholars at institutions without wide
Tibetan holdings might want to seriously consider this approach.
Please contact Gene directly about this possibility--the external
drives, of which two are so far available, are priced for
institutions at $8000 each, and contain approximately 1000 texts
each. Of course, complete contents listings are available.

In any event, here is what Gene wrote me a day or so ago:

Dear Jonathan,
We do not intend to provide individual users ordering one or two CDs with
both type 4 compressing tiffs and pdf images. The pdfs are legible and can
be printed out easily.  We are not about to get into any more technical
questions regarding DjVu. If people want to order our product we provide it
as *.pdf files. For libraries and for the rare individual who might
subscribe we will provide as both. I wish we could be more accomodating.
Regards,
Gene
