Dear John and Richard,

the entry points to the State Library Berlin (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin). I just looked up their catalogue and it does list Whitley's work, but says that it was lost during war and use is impossible.

Sorry,
Jürgen

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Looking for two older (short) books on "Sadani"
Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2019 13:17:27 +0100
Mailer: CAU Webmail/1.3.10

Dear members,

Would any member of this list by any fortunate chance of fate perhaps be in a library which contains either of the following two short grammars of "Sadani" (known locally in Jharkhand as "Sadri" or "Nagpuri")?

[1] Whitley, E.H., S.P.G. 1896. Notes on the Gánwárí Dialect of Lohardaga, Chota Nagpur, assisted by A. Salkar, 1895. Calcutta: 1896

[2] Floor, H. 1931. Language Hand-Book/Sadani (The Patois of Chota Nagpur). Calcutta: Tea District Labour Association. [Note that this book may have "Tea District Labour Association" or "Anonymous" as its author.]

Both books are mentioned in Jordan-Horstmann's 1969 grammar of this language but my co-author and I (who have now otherwise finished our grammar of this language and would like to send it off for publication) have not been able to locate a copy of either. We are now hoping that a smaller library which may not have all of its books in digitally catalogued may be able to help us here.

Any help - whether as a scan, paper copy or loan of this book - would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
John Peterson
