[INDOLOGY] descriptions of fortified towns in the epics

[Dean Michael Anderson]

 The review, at least, is available on JSTOR.
 https://www.jstor.org/stable/26546272
The book is harder to get in these times; impossible for some of us.

 on this one must certainly also see the review by O v Hinüber: Indo-Iranian journal, 2017, Vol.60 (2), p.187-199.

Dear Herman,

D. Schlingloff, Fortified Cities of Ancient India, London 2014  
(English translation of "Die altindische Stadt", Mainz 1969) is  
certainly worth trying.

With best wishes
Martin
