I've been following this thread with a great deal of interest. The production of knowledge of Sanskrit in the West has long been a topic of interest to me. A few years ago, as part of a larger research project, I compiled a list of 19th century mostly European Sanskrit grammar books. Since the edges of this can get a bit blurry (grammars vs. primers vs. readers; Europeans working in India; Indian scholars following European methods), I tried to keep to works that delved into grammar as their central topic and to those that did not merely translate original Indic works (exceptions: Ballantyne 1849, and Böhtlingk 1887, since they were well-known works in the European academies). I also rather arbitrarily stopped at the end of the 1800s. If nothing else, the sheer number is fascinating (probably more 19th century Sanskrit grammar books than there were Physics textbooks!) Here they are listed by date. (With thanks to Rosane Rocher, who reviewed the list, and made several suggestions.)

Dear all,

The conversations about Sanskrit Readers on-list and the many truly kind and helpful emails I received off-list suggested to me that an inventory of these books might be useful. Please find below all the Readers I am aware of, with pdf download links wherever available, or alternatively lists of the libraries that (according to WorldCat) hold a copy.

If anyone has anything to add to this list (more titles, more links, pdfs, other information), I would greatly appreciate it if you could send it to me, and in a few weeks' time, I will send a more complete version of this inventory to the Indology list.

All the very best,
