Dear David,

Terrific - thank you! Once I have your pdfs, I will email Toronto again and ask them to have someone check whether they have the volume we're missing, and if so, to scan it. That way, a grad student will be fed after all. (Apologies to the U of Toronto if they do pay proper stipends and I am making entirely the wrong assumptions about the needs of their graduate students:-).)

All best,

Dear Antonia,

Yes, I will be happy to scan my volumes two and three. It will be a few days until I can get it done. Hopefully we can find the fourth volume and have the full set.

Best regards,

Dear all,

What I did was get in touch with the East Asia Department at the U of Toronto (who officially are the publishers of the reader), and they suggested that I formulate my request as a job ad that they could then pass on to their grad students. As far as I know, the ad has not been passed on yet (I sent it to the administrator last night), so David, if it isn't too much of a hassle for you, could you scan your copies of vol. 2 and 3? That way I can save the fees that would arise if I was to pay someone in Canada. Still, if the scanning were to be a major effort, just say so - that way, we'd at least feed a grad student:-).

All best,
Antonia

Dear David,

That's fantastic! I wasn't aware that a third volume was even produced - let alone a devanagari volume! I don't think any of the OPAC catalogues record this information!! The photos I have of the Notes tome must be from Volume 3!! 

I will scan Volume 1 and send it through to Antonia, James & yourself later this week. Together we should be able to put together a complete edition available in an open, accessible place very soon! 

Kind regards,
Antonio

Dear all,

I have a full set of A. K. Warder's Sanskrit Prose Reader, three volumes, that I got from a used book dealer some years ago. If Antonia's request to the University of Toronto library fails, I will join Antonio in scanning these volumes and making them available. Volume 1 is selections in roman script (typewriter), volume 2 is selections in devanagari script (typewriter), and volume 3 is vocabulary.

Best regards,

Dear Antonia and James,

A number of years ago I tried to obtain Volume 2 of the Reader (the Notes Volume) from UoT on Interlibrary loan and was denied. I emailed scholarly lists and academics at UoT trying to try to obtain a copy and was given multiple assurances that copies were available and would be willingly provided - again without success. Eventually I contacted the UoT library directly and offered to buy one of their 10 spare copies so I could scan it and put it on Archive.ORG. For my trouble I received an astonishing email from an academic administrator informing me that I was soliciting copyright breach and that the appropriate thing to do would be to attend the UoT library personally and use the material there. Living in Australia makes this rather... difficult... 

Long story short, I own a copy of Volume One and have seen photographs(!) of Volume Two. I would be very happy to provide a high resolution pdf of Volume One but would be eternally grateful if someone else could obtain Volume Two. We could then put the material on Archive.ORG for the benefit of all Sanskrit scholars!

Kind regards,
Antonio

Dear James, dear all,

I am likely to get a pdf from Toronto (according to WorldCat, their university libraries are the only ones to have copies). However, if someone on the list already has a scan of some kind and would be willing to share that, I would be most grateful for a copy! (If not, I will mail you (and anyone else who is interested) the pdf if/as soon as I get it from Toronto.)

All best,

Dear Colleagues,





I was intrigued to hear of a Sanskrit reader by Warder in a recent thread.





I have since sought to obtain it via inter-library loans.





I have been told there are NO COPIES available in the U.K.





Does anyone have any advice as to how to obtain a copy?





Best Wishes,





James Hegarty
