[INDOLOGY] Sanskrit Readers: overview

Thu Jun 22 19:41:43 UTC 2017

Dear all,

The conversations about Sanskrit Readers on-list and the many truly kind
and helpful emails I received off-list suggested to me that an inventory of
these books might be useful. Please find below all the Readers I am aware
of, with pdf download links wherever available, or alternatively lists of
the libraries that (according to WorldCat) hold a copy.

If anyone has anything to add to this list (more titles, more links, pdfs,
other information), I would greatly appreciate it if you could send it to
me, and in a few weeks' time, I will send a more complete version of this
inventory to the Indology list.

All the very best,
    Antonia
