Dear List,
I agree with colleagues who have welcomed this conference on footprints. I
wish that I could attend. I have noticed, however, that there is no
reference among the conference papers to footprints in the Vedas. If any
of you are interested in footprints in the Vedas, may I recommend to you
two papers that I wrote in 1995:
"The Pursuit of Hidden Tracks in Vedic", published in Indo-Iranian Journal,
vol. 38: pp. 1-30
"From 'footstep' to 'word' in Sanskrit", published in Semiotica, vol.
106-1/2: pp. 77-98.
"Semiotics" is the science of signs, and in this science there is much
literature on the footprint as a highly polyvalent sign.
Best wishes,
George Thompson
