There is a trend in the 17th century and the period around that, of writing abridged versions of Ramayana, MahaBharata, Bhagavata etc. A very big number of such works is there. 

Yigal Bronner was telling me that he was working on the political /sociological background that lead to this trend. 

I do not know if he came up with any publication on this.

Dear colleagues,

I am writing a paper on the use of laghu as a value in assessing the composition of mathematical and astral science treatises. Author’s could present their work as a rewriting of previously known knowledge, but making it easier/shorter.

 I suspect that this was a wide spread value, and was wondering if you could point to me any papers published on this topic in other fields of indological query.

with all best

Agathe
