Dear Artur,

Geoffrey Samuel (The Origins of Yoga and Tantra. Indic Religions to the Thirteenth Century. Cambridge etc: Cambridge University Press, 2008) independently from Bronkhorst arrived at a historical narrative that is similar to the one told in “Greater Magadha”. Moreover, the chapter on the early history of Karma and rebirth in South Asia by Wilhelm Halbfass (Karma und Wiedergeburt im indischen Denken. Kreuzlingen, München: Hugendubel, 2000, pp. 37-63), which draws upon a considerable amount of earlier primary sources and secondary literature, can be read as supporting important aspects of Bronkhorst’s “Greater Magadha Hypothesis”.

 

Best, Philipp

Dear Tim, 

Could you, please, upload your review to Academia.edu? A poorly-educated guy like me (no irony here!) needs further reading and learning. And appreciates any occasion for it. 

Thanks in advance, 

Artur

PS. I try to organize my thoughts re the relics of the Buddha and amrita. Some simple parallels - and a sticky ground, contradictory concepts and interpretations. In need of new - lodestar-like - ideas.

> a bit to start a discussion? ;)

Frankly?

Quite frankly - I'd rather prefer following the discussion on the contents of Prof. Bronkhorst's paper. 

Or - is there somewhere a trace of the Buddhologists' (Historians of India, Historians of Indian Literature) reaction to its theses?

Best, 

Artur Karp

In support of Prof. Silk's remarks I would like to point to the following short paper by Claudius Naumann:

"Versiegende Quellen. Einige Anmerkungen über den Sinn und Unsinn von Internet-Verweisen in wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten". In: Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft 162.2 (2012), pp. 460-464.

Best,
Roland Steiner
