Rājaśekhara, but his kośa's are lost (9th-10th c.)
Bhoja (11th c.), but the various works he authored were probably composed by others
They are numerous real polygraphs in more recent times, e.g.
Vedānta Deśika/Veṅkaṭanātha (13th-14th c.)
Appaya Dīkṣita (16th c.)
Melputtūr Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭatiri (16th-17th c.)
Rāmapāṇivāda (18th c.)
Nāgeśa Bhaṭṭa (18th c.)
Dear list members,
I am looking for Sanskrit authors who have written about many (>=3) different topics or in many (>=3) different genres (e.g., poetry, narrative, philosophical, scientific, ...); alternatively for voluminous texts by one author that cover such different topics in separate chapters (i.e., the thematic strata should be easily separable).
Further requirements:
1) Authorship of their works should be consolidated in Indological research.
2) Texts should not be too short.
3) Texts should not be collections of former works or of citations only, but "really" be written by these authors.
4) The older, the better!
5) Texts should be edited or - even better - already digitized.
The first (and actually only) author that came to my mind is Kshemendra. Do you have any other ideas? Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Regards, Oliver
