In Goettingen we used Stenzler. Here in Oso I use Maurer, who also starts with Nala as a first text, though in the exercises he mainly uses the Bhagavadgītā.

Although Ludo Rocher taught Sanskrit in French at the U. of Brussels in the late 1950's, he used vol. 2 (the anthology part) by Thumb and Hauschild, with notes and vocabulary in German, to introduce us to Sanskrit texts.  It includes Nala 1-5.  As you will appreciate, it worked well. 

Cheers,

In the USA, Lanman's A Sanskrit Reader was, for a century or more, the de facto standard for beginning Sanskrit students (this has changed only in recent decades with the appearance of Goldman and Goldman, Scharf, Hock, etc).

 

Is there an equivalent introductory text that was used in Europe (Stenzler?)  Do European Sanskrit students also work with Nala as a first text (which I know is found in Bopp, Boehtlink, Monier-Williams, Stenzler, and Lanman)?

 

Thanks...I'm just looking for a bit of anecdotal evidence here; any comments will help.
