Nowadays, from time to time I become aware of new EDMAC-related work going on, or a new book published, but I long ago lost track of the big picture. I've just created a new Zotero group, where you may make a bibliographical entry for a book you have typeset with EDMAC, LEDMAC, eLEDMAC or derivatives. This may give your work a little added exposure, since it will be Googled. It will be very nice for the community at large to see an ever-growing list of critical editions done with TeX. Finally, it may serve as a resource for helping each other: if you are doing an eLEDMAC edition of a Sanskrit text, for example, you could look up other similar editions and either look at them for inspiration, or contact their authors for advice. The Zotero group is open to all, and you can add your own entries without formality.

I ?ntroduction: The earliest textual descriptions of yogic techniques date to the last few centuries BCE and show their practitioners to have been ascetics who had turned their backs on ordinary society.1These renouncers have been considered practitioners of yoga *par excellence* throughout Indian history. While ascetics, including some seated in meditative yoga postures,2have been represented in Indian statuary 3 since that early period, the first detailed depictions of Indian ascetics are not found until circa 1560 in paintings produced under the patronage of Mughal Emperor Akbar (reigned 1556?1605) and his successors.4These wonderfully naturalistic and precise images illuminate not only Mughal manuscripts5and albums but also our understanding of the history of yogis 6 and their sects. Scholars have argued for these paintings? value as historical documents;7their usefulness in establishing the history of Indian ascetic orders bears this out. The consistency of their depictions and the astonishing detail they reveal allow us to flesh out?and, sometimes, rewrite?the incomplete and partisan history that can be surmised from Sanskrit and vernacular texts, travelers? reports, hagiography, and ethnography? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'll try it again using a VPN later. I was surprised, from the introductory paragraph, by the assertion that "the first detailed depictions of Indian ascetics are not found until circa 1560 in paintings produced under the patronage of Mughal Emperor Akbar." At best this may be true if the qualificaton, "found in Indian art" is added, but otherwise it is false: painted depictions of Indian ascetics dating to the first and early second millennium are known from both Central Asian and Tibetan materials. I believe, too, that earlier Pala and Nepalese manuscripts contain miniatures depicting ascetics, but perhaps these are not sufficiently "detailed" (though it's sometimes remarkable how much information the miniatures do contain). best regards, Matthew Matthew Kapstein Directeur d'?tudes, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes Numata Visiting Professor of Buddhist Studies, The University of Chicago ________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The South and Southeast Asian diaspora communities as well as the rise in global interest in vipassana meditation has led to the growth of Theravada Buddhism in the Americas, Australia, Japan, and Europe. The scholarly study of Theravada Buddhism began with the scrutiny of Pali literature, but now covers many disciplines including literature, ethics, anthropology, philology, philosophy, history, cultural studies, political science, urban studies, and art and material culture. The/Theravada Civilizations Project/ is comprised of scholars from Arizona State University,Bowdoin College, the University of Chicago, Cornell University, the ?cole Fran?aise d?Extr?me-Orient, Harvard University, the University of Leeds, the University of London,the University of Louisville, Missouri State University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Toronto, the University of Vermont, the University of Washington and the University of Wisconsin, and in consultation with scholars from a range of other Asian, Australian, and European institutions.Adescription of the larger project can be found in Juliane Schober and Steven Collins, ?The Therav?da Civilizations Project: future directions in the study of Buddhism in Southeast Asia,? in the (on-line) Journal/Contemporary Buddhism/, vol. 13 (1), May 2012. Since project members and other scholars in the field are based at many different locations, graduate students preparing their dissertations do not have the opportunity to present and gain detailed feedback on their work from several experts in the field. ** This workshop is intended to bring together doctoral students and/or post-doctoral academics in the humanities and social sciences who are (1) developing dissertation proposals or are in early phases of research, dissertation writing, or revising dissertations for publications; and who are (2) engaging some aspects of Theravada classical and/or vernacular literature and/or researching aspects of Theravada history and cultural practice among South or Southeast Asian communities. The workshop will be limited to 6 doctoral students and/or post doctoral academics, ideally from a broad array of disciplines and working on a wide variety of materials in a variety of time periods on themes related to Theravada traditions and communities in Southeast Asia. It will provide a day of intense discussion, presentation, and close review of dissertation proposals, outlines, and/or draft review on March 25. 2014. Priority will be given to doctoral candidates at North American universities. The /Theravada Civilizations Project/ will be able to provide up to 1,000 US dollars in support for participants to help cover travel and accommodation. Meals will be provided at the workshop. Students needing additional funds to attend the workshop are encouraged to approach their home institutions for support. Applicants need not have advanced to candidacy but must have at least drafted a dissertation research proposal to apply. Applications are also welcome from doctoral students in the early phases of writing their dissertations, as well as those in the later phases and recent post-docs. Applications consist of two items only: (1) A current Curriculum Vitae, and (2) A dissertation proposal, _or_ a statement of the specific issues being addressed, the intellectual approach, and the materials being studied. Neither the proposal nor statement should exceed 10 double-spaced pages in length. Application materials must reach Steven Collins at s-collins at uchicago.edu no later than January 1^st 2014. Workshop participants will be selected on the basis of the submitted projects, the potential for useful exchanges among them, and a concern to include a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, intellectual traditions, and regions. Applicants will be notified by February 1^st 2014. For further information about the workshop, or eligibility, please contact Prof. Collins at the above email address. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dupuche?; ?Shaping the Italian Policy on the North-West Frontier: Giuseppe Tucci and the Limits of the Strategy of ?Peripheral Destabilization? (1936-1943)? by Gianluca Pastori Abstracts "A Spirituality of Pleasure: Deciphering Vij??nabhairava Verse 68" by John R. Dupuche This heavily coded ?loka from the tantric literature of Kashmir Shaivism has been misinterpreted and misused, to the detriment of the reputation of tantra in the West. This paper studies the original text and ancient commentaries, and elucidates the several levels of meaning of this arcane verse. It also looks at the various translations and commentaries in English, French, German, which do not bring out the full meaning of the text or contradict each other or gloss over problems or bend the verse to suit their agendas. As a result, this paper concludes that, far from being disreputable or trivial, the sloka describes a spirituality of pleasure in every-day life which is profound and important for our age. "Shaping the Italian Policy on the North-West Frontier: Giuseppe Tucci and the Limits of the Strategy of ?Peripheral Destabilization" (1936-1943)" by Gianluca Pastori Giuseppe Tucci played an important role in shaping Italian politics towards Asia under both Fascism and the Republic. In the Fascist period, Rome was a rally point for Asian nationalists such as Subhas Chandra Bose and Mohammad Iqbal Shedai. On the field, the Italian Legation in Kabul forged links with the frontier tribes to spread sedition along the North-West Frontier. Nonetheless, their joint efforts to fuel a strategy of ?peripheral destabilization? proved unfruitful. Confirming Tucci?s opinion, the intellectuals and the Indian population were unwilling to replace the Raj with another foreign domination. If they wanted to free themselves from the British, ?it was not to place someone else in their shoes? (Iqbal). Enjoy!

Anyway, you find the information you need on p.254a of the sixth volume of the New Catalogus Catalogorum. On p. 508 of N. Balbir's catalogue of the Jain mss of the British Library, Cat. No. 1401a is listed as a ms of Si?hatilakas?ri's ??k?, which however seems to have disappeared (I was trying to find mss you could easily consult without having to travel). I did not have time to check the VOHD, but I guess it's worth a try anyway.

Pandey on His Centenary) Author: Navjivan Rastogi (Ed.) & Meera Rastogi (Joint ed.) About the Volume: Till the advent of Prof. K.C. Pandey on the Indological horizon, the Sanskrit academy was hardly aware that Abhinavagupta?the most towering creative genius of medieval India?was more a philosopher than a literary critic and that his foray into poetics, in fact art and aesthetics as such, was to complement and substantiate his metaphysical and soteriological vision and that his contribution has been phenomenal in both the realms along with their allied and applied ramifications. It was largely for Pandey to unearth Abhinavagupta from the historical and academic oblivion and highlight the unique poignancy of Abhinavan contribution as being nurtured by a unified dynamic integral world-view having perfection, that is, oneness of the being and the beautiful, experience and expression, beingness and bliss, foundationally enshrined in its epicenter. Thus, Pandey proved to be a ?path discoverer,? pathikrt and a ?system-builder,? tarkasya karta. He consistently , and cogently, demonstrated through his numerous writings the intrinsically reciprocal congeniality that obtained between the Trika metaphysics on the one hand and its aesthetics on the other, where the former constitutes the genesis (karana hetu) of the theory of art and the latter the psycho-epistemological synthesis to the proper understanding of the tantrico-philosophical stipulations. The volume opens with a fairly long preface introducing the underlying theme and spirit of the whole venture followed by a biographical essay on Pandey?s inspiring life plus a comprehensive bibliography of his writings. The opening segment is followed by the Part One comprising reminiscences from a cross-section of his students and admirers including quite a few surviving close associates and contemporaries. The next two parts constitute the substantive portion and are devoted to Kashmir Shaivism and Abhinavan aesthetics, respectively. http://www.mrmlonline.com/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=2302734&keyword=Navjivan+Rastogi+(Ed.)+&+Meera+Rastogi+(Joint+ed.)&searchby=author&offset=0&fs=1 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <1379998677.71552.YahooMailBasic@web121905.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Dear Colleagues, You may be happy to note that my paper on Sylhet (in eastern Bengal), entitled ?Brahmanical Temples, Ma?has, Agrah?ras and a Buddhist Establishment in a Marshy and Forested Periphery of Two ?Frontier? States: Early Mediaeval Surma Valley (Sylhet and Cachar), c. 600 CE? 1100 CE? has been published in Religions of South Asia , Vol.6.1 , 2012. Information about this paper is available at https://www.equinoxpub.com/journals/index.php/ROSA/article/view/10764. Religions of South Asia is an internationally peer-reviewed journal published by Equinox Publications, London. Though this paper is concerned with a single district of eastern Bengal, this micro study has major historiographical implications. This paper, which frequently transgresses the disciplinary boundaries between environmental history and history of religions, raises some fundamental questions regarding those historiographical models (Ralph Nicholas, Richard Eaton, David Curley etc.) which explain the Islamisation of eastern Bengal in terms of Islam being the harbinger of rice revolution in the area. I am attaching the abstract of the paper here: Abstract This article aims to understand the socio-economic and religious changes in early mediaeval Surma valley, and the role of Brahmanical and Buddhist religious institutions in effecting them. This valley was the most forested and marshiest part of Bengal. It received very heavy rains and was under substantial tribal influence. At the beginning of the period under study, it was a peripheral part of two fringe states. By the eleventh century ce a local state evolved, resulting from centuries of agrarian expansion. Brahmanical religious institutions played a very important role in effecting this transition. Well before the arrival of Islam in the eastern/north-easternmost sector of the Bengal delta, local society had devised its own ways to tame the jungle, cope with fluvial volatility, and cultivate rice, even in the marshy areas. These developments force us to question those historiographical models which explain the Islamization of eastern Bengal in terms of Islam being the ?religion of the plough? and ?the harbinger of rice revolution? in the region.

VOEGELI From wujastyk at gmail.com Wed Sep 25 08:46:00 2013 From: wujastyk at gmail.com (Dominik Wujastyk) Date: Wed, 25 Sep 13 10:46:00 +0200 Subject: [INDOLOGY] National Archives of India Message-ID: Dear INDOLOGY colleagues, I've just written a cross letter to the National Archives in Delhi. A real David and Goliath situation. Their library holds a manuscript that I wish to read: it might be historically interesting, but I cannot be sure without examining it. Their prices mean I can't possibly afford a copy of it. I wrote and asked to purchase copies of the first ten and last ten folia. After a gap of many weeks, the NI wrote back saying that I should send them a bank draft. My bank says a) the draft will be very expensive (more than the cost of the MS copies), and b) they strongly advise against using bank drafts and money orders because they are inherently insecure. Indeed, I had the experience a few years back of sending a bank order to the University of Madras, and it got lost in the university publication office. I have remonstrated with the National Archives, and suggested several modern alternatives. But it's hopeless. They write letters like an inhuman machine that can't actually have a conversation or serve the needs of their users. As part of my correspondence I said I would share my experience with my peers. I believe in "naming and shaming" institutions like the NI. Hence this message to INDOLOGY. Best wishes, Dominik The message below is the third or fourth in the exchange, and repeats many of the points I had made earlier in the correspondence. --------------------------------------- Dear Sirs, You offer me the "convenience" of paying by bank order or draft, but as I explained in my last communication, this is not convenient at all. The bank draft will cost more than copies of the manuscripts I need to read. And bank drafts are an inherently insecure form of money transfer, as my bank has informed me. Further, the page-charges for manuscript copies are also prohibitively expensive. As I mentioned in my first communication, your charges are so high that I cannot even afford to read a copy of one whole manuscript. Your policy in this matter is shamefully imitative of many other avaricious institutions in India and internationally. Many fine institutions have moved into the modern age and shared their resources with scholars in rational ways that promote international cooperation and the growth of knowledge. For example, the Wellcome Trust, the University of Pennsylvania, the Gujarat Ayurvedic University, and the Koba Tirth (the largest manuscript library in the world), to name just some sample institutions on the international stage. I regret that as a National Archive and an internationally visible representative Indian institution you are not able to provide a service that meets your customers' needs. I am not willing to pay in the expensive and dangerous manner that you insist upon. You have many excellent alternative options available to you, and I wonder at your institutional policy of remaining inflexible in this matter. The policy you have adopted is damaging to scholarship on the history and culture of India. I have to inform you that I shall be sharing this information with the international body of professional university scholars dedicated to India. I invite you to write to me again when your office procedures have been modernized.

It was "ucgadkw at euclid.ucl.ac.uk" from 1988, and then "ucgadkw at ucl.ac.uk" with aliases to "wujastyk at ucl.ac.uk" and "d.wujastyk at ucl.ac.uk". After leaving UCL in 2009 I was given honorary status, so the accounts continued, as did access to my filestore, that for many years was the INDOLOGY website. But that has all now been unplugged and switched off. I was not informed or warned about this, and a UCL computer support person has just told me that it is unlikely that I'll be given access to my old files because apparently they don't belong to me, but to UCL ("work for hire"). I have a backup, but it is slightly out of date. There's obviously a lesson here: if you care about your work, don't store it exclusively on a university computer. Strange thing to say, but unfortunately true. It's not so bad, though, since buying personal space on a server is so cheap and easy these days. And email accounts with Google etc. are free and good. So one need not feel dependent on university facilities. If you still have "ucgadkw at ucl.ac.uk" in your addressbook, you can now safely delete it. My email address for the rest of my life will be " wujastyk at gmail.com", I hope. References to websites starting http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucgadkw, including the really old INDOLOGY pages, should also be deleted or updated. The files aren't there any more. All my INDOLOGY work moved quite a while ago to the private server that I rent at http://indology.info. Other things from my UCL account have been split off to http://academia.edu, etc. EDMAC has moved to http://tug.org/edmac/. If you want a burst of nostalgia, you can still see some of the old stuff via the WayBackMachine. Best, Dominik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

First, you can read the files directly just on the SARIT website, of course. SARIT turns the XML into HTML for you. But if you want to download the XML and use it some different way, the best and easiest converter I know is OxGarage. Select "documents" and then "TEI P5", on the left, and then whatever you want on the right (PDF, HTML, MS Word, LaTeX, epub (Kindle), etc.). It does a pretty good job, and is constantly improving. One of our plans for SARIT is to build this conversion facility right into the SARIT website, so you can just press a button right there beside the text and take delivery of whatever format you want. It is likely to be handled by OxGarage, which offers a RESTfulservice (i.e., it can be used in the background by other websites).

With debates on eco-theology and environmentalism now being very much part of the academic discourse, we are preparing a three-volume collection providing an opportunity to reflect on, promote and contribute to the study of fauna, flora and minerals in South Asian religious narratives, beliefs, practices, performances, arts and science. The project is articulated in three parts: Volume 1: Charming Beauties and Frightful Beasts. Non-Human Animals in South Asian Myth, Ritual and Folklore (Sheffield and Bristol, CT: Equinox, 2013). Volume 2: Roots of Wisdom, Branches of Devotion. Plant Life in South Asian Religions and Culture (Sheffield and Bristol, CT: Equinox, expected to be published by 2015). Volume 3: Soulless Matter, Seats of Energy. Metals, Gems and Minerals in South Asian Religions and Culture (Sheffield and Bristol, CT: Equinox, expected to be published by 2015). Volume 1 will be out in a few weeks. The editors invite contributions to Volume 2 (flora) and Volume 3 (minerals, gems, metals). Possible themes for a chapter include: - minerals, metals and plants in South Asian literatures; - the belief that divine beings inhabit or are associated to particular plants and/or rocks, minerals and stones (including mountains); - debates on the concept of animate and inanimate matter in South Asian traditions; plants and minerals as a resource for South Asian material culture; - the use of metals, stones and gems in the production of coins, medals, seals, amulets, etc.; - the use of wood, rocks or metals in the preparation of icons and/or ritual tools; - the threat posed by industrialisation and population increase to the vegetable and mineral resources of sacred areas; - the study of myth, ritual and folklore as sources for ecological projects, ?green? education, ecological consciousness, eco-sustainably and responsible management of resources; - metals and minerals in the production of weaponry, amulets, ornaments and ritual implements; - the preparation of remedies from plants and/or minerals in medical systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Tibb, Tibetan and Tantric medicine, etc.; - folk remedies in South Asian vernacular and indigenous traditions; - use of drugs and intoxicants in religious narratives and ritual practices; - the social aspects of tea, coffee and/or tobacco in South Asia; - vegetarian/vegan food in South Asian cuisines; - the relation between community, agriculture and religion; - plant life and minerals/metals in relation to issues of purity and auspiciousness. The editors invite chapter proposals reflecting the cultural and religious diversity of South Asia and are particularly eager to consider contributions exploring discourses on plant life and minerals/gems/metals from South Asian countries other than India. Chapters will be 7,000 words long (including bibliography and endnotes) and should be submitted by Friday 4 July 2014. We invite potential contributors to send a title, an abstract (max 500 words) and a short biographical note (150 words) to the editors off list by Monday 14 October 2013.
