Composing A Tradition: Concepts, Techniques And Relationships Proceedings Of The First Dubrovnik International Conference On The Sanskrit Epics And Puranas August 1997

The Dubrovnik Conference brought together scholars from distant parts of the world, from several continents, concentrated upon the same vast subject. Croatia as the host country continued its traditions of Indological interest and research, this time, however, with international participation surpassing all previous initiatives. The papers collected in the Proceedings under the title Composing a Tradition: Concepts, Techniques and Relationships represent contributions of a very high standard of learning and scholarly research that will certainly make an impact on the field of Sanskrit Epics and Puranas. The book deserves to be received with interest wherever such studies are pursued, and the breadth of its approach should also commend it to a much wider circle of the interested educated public
