On behalf of l’autrice, it is my pleasure to announce the publication of her study on the function and tasks of a „messenger“ in the context of Sanskrit inscriptions.

A sifting of about 3.600 published inscriptions (3rd to 12th centuries) in Brāhmī- and Nāgarī-scripts yielded 230 documents issued by more than 40 dynasties containing information relevant to the subject. The documentation, analysis and evaluation of these significant inscriptions form the core of the book, which has been written in the German language:

Ego ex animi mei sententia spondeo ac polliceor
studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.
