JAINA SCRIPTURES AND PHILOSOPHY
(11th JAINA STUDIES WORKSHOP AT SOAS)
March 12-13
Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre
School of Oriental and African Studies, Russell Square, London
WC1H OXG

Research on the Jaina Agamas, once the main domain of Jainology and Prakrit
Studies, has become rare nowadays, while studies of Jaina philosophy and
religion based on sources in Sanskrit, Middle and New-Indo-Aryan languages
are increasing. The conference seeks to reconnect research on canonical and
non-canonical sources and their uses. Contributions are invited on Jaina
scriptures and philosophy.

The conference is co-organised by the Centre of Jaina Studies at SOAS and
the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies of the University of Lund.

Almost Englishmen: Baghdadi Jews in British Burma
A talk in English by Dr. Ruth Fredman Cernea, Anthropologist
Co-organized by The Asian Division Friends Society and Library of Congress Professional Association Hebrew Language Table
http://www.lcasianfriends.org/event/almost_englishmen 
 
Tuesday, September 9, 2008

Contact: Dr. Anchi Hoh, adia at loc.gov, (202) 707-5673, Gail Shirazi, gshi at loc.gov, (202) 707-9897
 
Description:
For more than a century, Jews from the Middle East-the Baghdadis-formed vibrant communities throughout Southeast Asia. Linked across the miles by tradition, family and economic ties, ideologically the Baghdadis existed between two promised lands: the religious ideal of Jerusalem and the political promise of England. Like other minorities in the complex society that was British India, the Baghdadis gradually refashioned their lifestyles and aspirations on the British model. The Jewish experience in the lush land of Burma is emblematic of the experience of the extended Baghdadi community, whether in Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Surabaya, or any of the other towns and port cities throughout Southeast Asia.
 
About the Speaker:
Dr. Ruth Fredman Cernea, Anthropologist, has reconstructed the history of the Jews of Burma through decades-long archival research and interviews in Burma, the UK, Australia, Israel, the US and other places throughout the world.  The author has done a service to Jewish and colonial studies, documenting a community and an experience that have been ignored in historical writings. She is actively involved in attempts to secure the future of the Jews who remain in present-day Myanmar. Dr. Cernea is the author of the anthropological study of the Passover Seder, Afikoman in Exile, the editor of The Great Latke-Hamantash Debate, and numerous articles on Jewish society and culture.

Dear Friends,

I recently received the following news from Abhishek Jain, of Motilal 
Banarsidass Publishers:

    my  uncle, Mr Rajeev Jain met with a serious accident & was in the
    hospital for nearly 2 months. There was brain injury & a couple of
    fractures on his body as well. He was discharged from the hospital
    day before yesterday [21 August]. Due to god's grace, he is out of
    danger & his health is stable & he is also recovering.

I think many, if not most, of us know Rajiv Jain, admire his warmth and 
generosity of spirit, and benefit from the ongoing work of and his 
family's old and esteemed publishing house. (How many of our students 
would have copies of Monier-Williams were it not for Motilal Banarsidass?)

I recently sent him a "get well soon" card, and I'm sure it would be 
appreciated if his many other friends and acquaintances in the field of 
Indology were to write with their best wishes. Cards may be sent care of 
Abhishek Jain, Motilal Banarsidass Publishers (P) Ltd., A-44, Naraina

reciting a verse (ideally this one, but I'm not picky) in paa.tha style,

Subject: two new publications on (modern) Tamil
Message-ID: <161227083397.23782.2846599646962760862.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

My colleagues who are involved in teaching (modern) Tamil might be interested to know that recently two highly useful books have come out. The first is a new edition of the Cre-A dictionary. Below I quote from the publication announcement:

 

"In 1992 Cre-A published the first edition of kriyaavin tarkaalat tamizh akaraati (tamizh-tamizh-aankilam) which met the needs of students, teachers and users of the Tamil language. It was received enthusiastically by the Tamil community around the world. Drawing on our experience in dictionary making, we have now brought out a revised, expanded version of this dictionary with a wider coverage. It is a result of eight years of work, using larger language resources and sharper focus arising from Cre-A:'s twenty years of engagement with dictionary making in Tamil. Among the important features of this new edition are:

 

- a broadened conceptual framework for standard written Tamil

 

- an exposition of grammar of modern Tamil as reflected in the Dictionary, by Dr.E. Annamalai and Dr. A. Dhamotharan

 

- a database of contemporary Tamil which is four times larger than that used for the first edition

 

- significant addition of new words and senses

 

- a wider selection of words from Sri Lankan Tamil

 

- substantial increase in the number of illustrative sentences/phrases

 

- more pictorial illustrations than in the first edition.

 

More details and sample pages are in the brochure sent as an attachment to this mail. We would appreciate your support and if you could bring this information to your friends interested in contemporary Tamil.

 

with best wishes,

 

S.Ramakrishnan

Editor"

 

The email address of Cre-A is crea at vsnl.com <mailto:crea at vsnl.com> .

 

The second book is a new reader published by Mozhi (27, 3rd East Street, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai 600041, mozhitrust at yahoo.com <mailto:mozhitrust at yahoo.com> ). Below a quotation from the publication announcement:

 

"A Contemporary Tamil Prose Reader

A New Reader.

There is a felt need for a prose reader for those who learn Tamil as a second or foreign language. Although course materials are available for the teaching of Tamil at the beginner's level and to some extent at intermediate level, there is a dearth of reading material for advanced students who have obtained some proficiency in Tamil. After Asher and Radhakrishnan's reader of 1971, this new reader fulfils the need of the learners.

The present reader contains a selection of 23 texts of contemporary prose, 15 of creative writing and 8 from non-fiction, thereby providing a cross-section of the myriad Tamil writings.

The Reader is organized as follows:

There is a short note on the author and the theme of the text. Each text is punctuated by notes in English. Difficult lexical items and culture specific items are explained in the notes. Points of grammar are given in an identifiable way. After each text, an English translation follows. The aim of providing translation is only an aid to step into the Tamil expressive system. A glossary of words of all the texts is appended at the end.

 

Features

1.	The persons who are responsible for the preparation of this reader have rich experience in teaching Tamil to foreign students and scholars; and also in conducting Tamil courses to other Indian language teachers.
2.	The selection is based according to a range in themes (from plain to emotional), on grammatical features (from common to uncommon) and on style (from popular to academic).
3.	Out of the 23 texts 7 are by women writers. A text from a Srilankan writer is also included.
4.	A practical solution is found to grade the texts. For grading, the morphology of words, patterns of sentences, features of style, currency of words, familiarity of themes are weighed in terms of relatively easy to relatively difficult axis.
5.	The Reader opens with a traditional folk tale and closes with a contemporary writer's long story of pathos and humour.
6.	The translations of the texts have been revised with inputs from native speakers of English.
7.	In the glossary, words are given with textual context and with their English translation. The glossary is exhaustive and runs into more than 170 pages.
8.	The original texts are reproduced as they are found in print form except for punctuation and word spacing. Consistency is maintained in splitting and joining words."

THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
THE INSPIRATION OF ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA
celebrating the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first
astronomical uses of the telescope
Venezia (Italy), October 18-23, 2009
http://www.astro.unipd.it/insap6/

**********************************************************************

Dear Colleague,

The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, the Astronomy
Department of Padua University, the INAF-Padua Astronomical
Observatory, and the Vatican Observatory are jointly organizing the
sixth international conference on "The Inspiration of Astronomical
Phenomena" (INSAP) to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Galileo's
first astronomical uses of the telescope.

The Conference will be held on October 18-23, 2009 at Palazzo
Franchetti in Venice, Italy. The Conference venue is one of the
premises of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti. It faces
onto the Grand Canal and it is surrounded by a garden.
The Conference will explore humanity's fascination with the sky, which
has been a strong and often dominant element in the human life and
culture. It provides a meeting place for scholars from a variety of
disciplines and artists to present and discuss their studies on the
cultural impact and inspirations of astronomical phenomena. The list
of topics discussed in the previous INSAP conferences is available at
the INSAP web site http://www.insap.org/insap/

The first day of the Venice Conference will be devoted to Galilean
contributions.

The attendance will necessarily be limited to 170 participants. We
suggest that interested individuals register as soon as possible.
The form for the registration and submission of the abstracts for the
oral and poster contributions is available at
http://www.astro.unipd.it/insap6/registration.html
The final deadline for registration and abstract submission will be
communicated in the next announcement.

The registration fee is foreseen to be Euro 350 and it includes the
welcome party, four lunches, and coffee breaks. We are considering a
reduced fee for the participants not attending the full Conference.
We are negotiating with the Memorie della Societa` Astronomica
Italiana to publish the Conference proceedings in their main Journal.
Full information on the scientific programme, venue, and transport, is
available on the Conference web site
http://www.astro.unipd.it/insap6/

Venice is one of most beautiful and attractive cities in the world. We
recommend you to make directly your own hotel reservation, taking into
account that for not expensive accommodations well-advanced booking is
suggested. A list of some hotels close to the Conference venue and
general web sites for hotels in Venice is available at
http://www.astro.unipd.it/insap6/accommodation.html

The previous INSAP conferences took place in 1994 in a retreat at
Rocca di Papa in Italy, near the Vatican Observatory, in 1999 at the
International Office of the University of Malta, in 2001 at the
Palermo Observatory in Italy, in 2003 at the Oxford University, and in
2005 at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum in Chicago.
Details about these conferences are available at
http://www.insap.org/insap/

Please forward this announcement to others who might be interested.
We are looking forward to meet you in Venice.

ulhaasa is a Skt word itself. The spelling Ulhas is simply according to the
Marathi pronunciation. In Nagari writing, the word is indistinguishable from
its Skt form.

Many cities and rivers of India have auspicious/appropriate and
aesthetically pleasant names (cities: Srinagar, Ujjayini; rivers
Brahma-putra, K.sipraa, Mahaanadii etc.). Ulhaasa/Ulhas is one of them.

I do not know what the oldest attestation of the name is. However, I see no
reason to suspect that it has come as a replacement for some other name.

Dear Colleagues,

As some of you may already have seen from other sources, Professor Ram  
Murti Sharma, the former VC of Sampurnananda Skt University and a  
Board member of the International Association of Sanskrit Studies,  
died on 14th June.

Recently I received a message from Professor Ram Murti Sharma's son,  
Dr Sunil Sharma, from which I quote:
We are planning a COMMEMORATION VOLUME in his honour.  Through this  
letter, I wud request ... ... <IASS> members to send a paper on any  
theme in Indian and Western Philosophy and Culture including  
Sanskritization or any topic in which they specialize by 30th Nov  
2008.  However, it wud b better if papers have a global perspective as  
his last book, yet to b released, abt which I wud inform, is titled  
VEDANTA-EAST AND WEST.  Doesn't matter, if the paper has been  
pre-presented elsewhere.  We will like to enrich this volume by  
contributions fron IASS members."

In a subsequent message  in which he agreed to my sending this message  
to the list, he amplified his remarks on the them as follows:
"Since, his field was VEDANTA, we will more than welcome papers in  
VEDANTA but at d same time, let it be left to the scholar for greater  
freedom and flexibility. They can send it by 30th Nov,2008 by e-mail  
in MS-Word and/or send d hard copy at the undermentioned address of my  
office. The language can be English/ Sanskrit/ Hindi.However, we wud  
prefer English for a global reach."

I hope that some of you will be in a position to accede to this  
request (and would be pleased to be informed, if you do so).

Dear Ashok (and George),

Thanks for the information.  That is somewhat helpful.  The thing is, I am 
trying to identify a river somewhere between and including the Narmadaa and 
the Ulhas from a Tibetan translation (mdzes-'byor) which roughly means 
"endowed with beauty / prosperity / goodness".  I had wondered if the Ulhas 
was at some time known as the Kalyaa.nika in view of the town upstream today 
called Kalyana.

Many thanks,
Stephen Hodge

mdzes-'byor may very well translate the term/name ullAsa (incl. connotations such 
as splendor, brightness, beauty) itself.

The text volume of 630 pages will take a little longer to process, but it
certainly merits attention, if only for the fact that it belies all manner of

The illustration in question is on the upper part of plate I*. Will someone

Allen,

Niklas Muller's book seems to have been an important influence (and 
the source for Indic materials) for Johann Malfatti (1775-1859), 
described by Christian Kerslake as one of the "founding figures of 
modern occultism."

Kerslake's article is here:

http://culturemachine.tees.ac.uk/InterZone/kerslake.htm

The illustrations seem to be like those in Robert Fludd's and 
Athanasius Kircher's works. Was this just a common style?

Message-ID: <161227083487.23782.16999042393880458687.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

On 9 Sept 2008, Herman Tieken announced on the Indology list the  
publication of a new Tamil prose reader. I would like to forward the  
following details of this publication provided by Dr. P.R.  
Subramanian, the editor of the reader.

With best regards, Asko Parpola

?A Contemporary Tamil Prose Reader?

A New Reader
There is a felt need for a prose reader for those who learn Tamil as a  
second or foreign language.  Although course materials are available  
for the teaching of Tamil at the beginner?s level and to some extent  
at intermediate level, there is a dearth of reading material for  
advanced students who have obtained some proficiency in Tamil. The  
present reader contains a selection of 23 texts of contemporary prose,  
15 of creative writing and 8 from non-fiction, thereby providing a  
cross-section of the myriad Tamil writings.

The Reader is organized as follows:
There is a short note on the author and the theme of the text.  Each  
text is punctuated by notes in English.  Difficult lexical items and  
culture specific items are explained in the notes.  Points of grammar  
are given in an identifiable way. After each text, an English  
translation follows.  A glossary of words of all the texts is appended  
at the end.

Features
*	The persons who are responsible for the preparation of this reader  
have good experience in teaching Tamil to foreign students and  
scholars; and also in conducting Tamil courses to other Indian  
language teachers.
*	Out of the 23 texts 7 are by women writers.  A text from a Srilankan  
writer is also included.
*	A practical solution is found to grade the texts. For grading, the  
morphology of words, patterns of sentences, features of style,  
currency of words, and familiarity of themes are weighed in terms of  
relatively easy to relatively difficult axis.
*	The Reader opens with a traditional folk tale and closes with a  
contemporary writer?s long story of pathos and humour.
*	The translations of the texts have been revised with inputs from  
native speakers of English.
*	In the glossary, words are given with textual context and with their  
English translation. The glossary is exhaustive and runs into more  
than 170 pages.

Von: Allen W Thrasher [mailto:athr at loc.gov]

 
Could Reinhold elaborate further on the nature of the work and his comment,
"it it belies all manner of
assertions about "romantic indology" etc."?
 
 
Whatever description I could give of this multi-facetted work would be
inappropriate, I think. The article pointed out by Luis Gonzalez-Reimann may
give a first impression, although (necessarily) from the perspective of
M?ller's influence on Malfatti. [I hope to bring out an electronic edition on
GRETIL soon, but the particular type of Fraktur, in combination with poor
print quality, makes OCR a difficult  business.]
 
What I alluded to with the above remark is that although he nominally adheres
to the notion of India as the cradle of humanity, belief, learning, the arts,
etc., -- a notion that is usually associated with Herder and F. Schlegel's
1808 essay, but, contrary to the pronouncements of present-day theorists, is
absent in indological writings --, M?ller is far from depicting India as a
"romantic" paradise. In his expositions as well as in his plates he
explicitly strives for accuracy. Consequently, no love is lost, e.g., on the
"Oriental scenery" of the Daniell brothers, along with other British works on
India.
 
Just for the record: M?ller cannot be considered an indologist by any
standard, although he frequently refers to A.W. Schlegel, at the time of
publication still the only established indologist in Germany.
 
Best regards

I don't know much of Telugu but happen to know the meaning of "Gundu" 
which is round, globular, spherical. Perhaps by extension gundulu means 
egg.  // Bindu Stephen Hodge wrote:

Respected members of the list,
by coincidence, I'm also struggling with illustrations, although of a
different kind. The manuscript in question contains drawings, specimens of

I wonder if anybody who knows Telugu can help with this. I have a gloss in 
Pali on the place name Mora.n.da, the supposed place of origin of 
Buddhaghosa: "nemaliiti telagu-vohaaro ca morassa, gundalu iti ca a.n.dassa"

I have ascertained that "nemali" is indeed "peacok" (mora), but I can't find 
any confirmation that "gundulu" is "egg" (or similar) in Telugu.

I would be grateful for any help with this.

Swapping round the tops and bottoms of photos 3 and 4 might help.  The  
top of 3 certainly looks as if it would fit better with the bottom of  
4.  The label on the top part of 3 might then also fit better, for it  
seems to read magaramuraari.h||, perhaps an error for makaramuraari.h ?

Yours, with best wishes,

Here is a summary of comments, via list and private, on the drawings:
 
- The ms. was probably designed as a leporello. After its assumed
disintegration the loose leaves seem to have been stitched together at both
ends (best visible on some of the scans I didn't upload), with occasional
confusion of sequence.
- It is probably a sketch book that served as a model for artistic / ritual
drawings.
- Similar designs can be found, e.g., in the Kubyauk-gyi at Myinkaba in Pagan
(see Claudine Bautze-Picron, "Buddhist Murals of Pagan", Bangkok 2003, pls
184 & 185. Pl. 185 [not available to me at present]).
- The Bujimol script indicates Nepalese (or North-east Indian?) origin.
- Consequently, allowance has to be made with regard to spelling, beyond the
most obvious deviations (e.g., "vada" for "vadha").
 
Many thanks to all contributors!

"Naadasi.mhavada.h" probably stands for "Narasi.mhavadha.h", as suggested by

Dear Reinhold,

In the study of Asian incunabula, we usually cite a leporello as an  
"accordion-fold" book. In Nepal Bhasa (Newar) they are called  
thyasaphu and can be anything from very small to about about 100  
folds or more. Frequently they have an arsenic coating on one side,  
which gives it a characteristic yellow cast,  to keep the insects at  
bay.

  An important example of an iconographic model book in the thyasaphu  
format is at:

http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu/exhib/CircleofBliss/ChakraBook02A.html
  from the Circle of Bliss Exhibition

Another with the arsenic coating is at:

http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu/exhib/CircleofBliss/ 
ChakraRitual02A.html

Also from the CoB

While the Model books are often called sketch books they are usually  
not. True sketchbooks were an artist is learning something are known  
(the Jivarama sketch book of NS 555) (see my  ?Nevar Artist  
Jivarama?s Sketch Book,? in Indian Art Treasures: Suresh Neotia  
Collection. Varanasi; J?ana-Pravaha (Center for Cultural Studies and  
Research) with Mosaic Books 2006, pp. 74-85) it may be downloaded at:

http://tiny.cc/NZbUs

This is actually one of the most complete studies of a "sketch book"  
to date.

The four complete and two fragmentary designs you have posted,  
suggest that this is a model book of designs for the ornamentation of  
a shrine or temple of some sort. However, since it is clearly not  
Buddhist, I am at a loss to say what it might be.

One interesting aside, is that the figure fighting the lion has  
twisted the lion around into the "broken-back" position of many  
central Asian animals motifs of the first millennium BCE and first  
half of the first millennium CE

Given the Bhujimo characters and their relationship to the  
Inscriptions of Jivarama,, I would date this to ca 1450 ? 30.

I hope this is useful. I would love to see more if you would be  
willing to share them.

All the best

John

"In the study of Asian incunabula, we usually cite a leporello as an  "accordion-fold" book."

A search of the Library of Congress database seems to indicate that this phrase is the overwhelming favorite for online cataloging in accordance with AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 2).  I am checking with the cataloging authorities here about whether this is a rule or just a prevailing practice.  I need to know because we are trying to get a number of Burmese and Shan and one or two Nepalese books in this format cataloged.

Dear Reinhold,

In the study of Asian incunabula, we usually cite a leporello as an 
"accordion-fold" book. In Nepal Bhasa (Newar) they are called 
thyasaphu and can be anything from very small to about about 100 
folds or more. Frequently they have an arsenic coating on one side, 
which gives it a characteristic yellow cast,  to keep the insects at 
bay.

  An important example of an iconographic model book in the thyasaphu 
format is at:

http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu/exhib/CircleofBliss/ChakraBook02A.html
  from the Circle of Bliss Exhibition

Another with the arsenic coating is at:

http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu/exhib/CircleofBliss/
ChakraRitual02A.html

Also from the CoB

While the Model books are often called sketch books they are usually 
not. True sketchbooks were an artist is learning something are known 
(the Jivarama sketch book of NS 555) (see my  "Nevar Artist 
Jivarama's Sketch Book," in Indian Art Treasures: Suresh Neotia 
Collection. Varanasi; J?ana-Pravaha (Center for Cultural Studies and 
Research) with Mosaic Books 2006, pp. 74-85) it may be downloaded at:

This is actually one of the most complete studies of a "sketch book" 
to date.

The four complete and two fragmentary designs you have posted, 
suggest that this is a model book of designs for the ornamentation of 
a shrine or temple of some sort. However, since it is clearly not 
Buddhist, I am at a loss to say what it might be.

One interesting aside, is that the figure fighting the lion has 
twisted the lion around into the "broken-back" position of many 
central Asian animals motifs of the first millennium BCE and first 
half of the first millennium CE

Given the Bhujimo characters and their relationship to the 
Inscriptions of Jivarama,, I would date this to ca 1450 ? 30.

I hope this is useful. I would love to see more if you would be 
willing to share them.

All the best

John

Is it not a raak.sasii on n?9 (and another 
raak.sasa on n? 7) ? It reminds me the hair and 
look of the raak.sasii Si.mhikaa in the Kathakali 
play "Kirmiira-vadha" (but the tail could also 
denote a monkey character).
With best wishes
