Dear List,
it is an honor for me to announce the release of the 'new' book (started in the 1980s) by Jean-Marie Verpoorten (1938-), in Prābhākara Mīmāṃsā, being the French translation with thorough commentary of Śālikanātha's Prakaraṇapañcikā 'chapter 6, section 1', namely the 1st pariccheda (on the definitions of pramāṇa and pratyakṣa) in the epistemological prakaraṇa entitled Pramāṇapārāyaṇa (a segmented transliteration of the whole Sanskrit text has been added by myself for accompanying the translation).
