On textual divisions, might I also recommend the following?
L. Renou, "Les divisions dans les textes sanskrits", IIJ 1 (1957) 1-32 (= Choix d’études indiennes. Réunies par N. Balbir et G.-J. Pinault. Paris 1997, II/487-518).
And perhaps my own article, "The Textual Divisions of the Paippalāda Saṃhitā", WZKS 47 (2003), 5-35.
Best wishes,

Dear
Indology List members,
I appreciate that this may seem a basic question. It's so basic, I
don't have any fantastic references!
I was hoping for references to authoritative accounts of the
division of the Vedas into versions (Rg, Yajur etc.,), parts
(Mantra, Brahmana etc.) and dates in English.
I was also interested in linguistic accounts of the Vedas that
might distinguish the earlier and later Vedas on linguistic lines.
All help is most appreciated!
Gratefully yours,
Shyam
