Dear all,

 

Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to this list – Christophe Vielle found an incredible number of little treasures, but just as helpful were the contributions by Manu Francis, Rosane Rocher, George Thompson, Walter Slaje, Matthew Kapstein, Asko Parpola, Erik Sand, Georges Pinault, Brendan Gillon, Tatiana Oranskaia, Klaus Karttunen, Jan Filipský, Herman Tull, Aleksandar Uskokov, David Buchta and Rembert Lutjeharms.

 

I think the main surprise for most of us is the sheer number of readers out there. I have thus split up the list to make it easier to use: after the general readers, there are those focusing on selections from specific texts (or textual genres), ‘readers’ of texts in translation (which of course have a different goal; they are mentioned here so that no one will confuse them for the kind of reader the main list focuses on), and finally, 19^th- and early-20^th-century readers created for the use in Indian schools and universities.

 

There is considerable (although not complete) functional overlap between these latter and readers produced for European and North American audiences; the main reason I have here listed them separately is their sheer number, combined with the fact that I am well aware that many more exist that are missing from this list. (Many of the readers included in this last part of the list were either mentioned to me by Rembert Lutjeharms (librarian at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, whose collection of such readers comes from the library of the late Prof. J.A.F. Roodbergen); Madhav Deshpande kindly shared his collection of .pdfs with me, part of which I uploaded to archive.org; finally, Matthew Kapstein also mentioned that he had a lot of material of this kind.)

 

Each entry includes a link either to a downloadable pdf or, failing that, to the relevant WorldCat entry so that the book can be located in a library. I have included the list directly in this mail (rather than attaching it as a .doc or .pdf) as that makes the many links easily clickable. Where no pdf is available, I have given more of the available bibliographic information in case someone wants to attempt to find the book in question.

Comments, corrections, additions are always welcome. (Perhaps to me rather than to the list, as I'm sure many are growing tired of this subject.) I will make the list available online later this summer.

 

Many thanks once more to everyone who has so kindly contributed to this compilation. I personally have profited from it greatly: what I have seen so far has shown me in many ways what to do and what to avoid in my own reader. I hope others will find useful teaching aids here.

 

All the best,

    Antonia
