[INDOLOGY] New project on the Suśrutasaṃhitā and its commentaries

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I am pleased to announce that the Canadian government, through the SSHRC
<https://sshrc-crsh.canada.ca/>, has funded a new project focussed on the
evolution of the text of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā* (SS).  The project is called
"The Compendium of Suśruta in Time and Space: Mapping a Medical Tradition."

Information about the first SS project, 2020-2024, can be found here:
http://sushrutaproject.org.  See especially the page on Project Outputs
<https://sushrutaproject.org/project-publications/>.

While the 2020 project focussed on establishing the text of the SS as it
was in the ninth century, the new project has a different focus, and will
examine the editorial campaign that pervasively altered the text in the
centuries after 900 CE until it reached the "vulgate" version that we find
in printed editions today.  It is a project on textual and medical history.

The website of the new project is still under development, but can already
be consulted here: https://sushrutaproject2.github.io/website/  (shortcut
http://sushrutaproject2.org).

I am grateful to the anonymous SSHRC project reviewers for giving the
application high marks.  I am also grateful to the Project Collaborators,
Angermeier, Vitus University of Vienna
Koythodi Parameswaran, Madhu Vaidyaratnam P. S. Varier Ayurveda College
Li, Charles University of Hamburg
Maas, Philipp Universität Leipzig
Zysk, Kenneth University of Copenhagen
who supported the writing of the project application and will guide it over
the next four years.

Best wishes,
Dominik Wujastyk
