[INDOLOGY] Adolf Janáček's articles on the Yogasūtras

[Lubomír Ondračka]

Dear colleagues,

thanks to my discussion with Federico Squarcini last year, I have learned that papers on the Yogasūtras written by a Czech scholar Adolf Janáček and published in the fifties in Archiv Orientální may still be inspirational for scholars interested in the Pātañjalayogaśāstra. Since these articles are not easily available (all volumes of the journal are in the Digital Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, but it's a bit cumbersome to get any particular article from this depository), I have uploaded them on archive.org.
