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.
