[INDOLOGY] CHSTM History of Science in Early South Asia: call for presentations

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I would like to make a presentation about two issues relating to the
history of the Compendium of Suśruta.

   1. Candraṭa's (fl. ca. 900-1050) relationship to the Suśrutasaṃhitā
   2. What can we learn when the *Suśrutasaṃhitā* says, "some say that ..."?

These topics will be presented in a manner accessible to the non-specialist.

Best,
Dominik
