Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you about a new repository of searchable electronic
texts of Dharmaśāstra commentaries and digests, hosted at the University of
Texas. During the pandemic, Patrick Olivelle has been hard at work transcribing
several important texts (thousands of pages!), often comparing editions and
providing text-critical notes. Although we intend to make these open texts (CC
BY-SA) available later through a central repository such as GRETIL or SARIT,
the proofreading process for texts of this size is time-consuming. Rather than
wait, however, we wanted to share the initial transcriptions of six texts,
portions of which have been checked. They are offered to the Indological
community as Google docs which can be downloaded in various formats. That
format may be slower to load, but it makes corrections by a group easy. In most
cases, we have also been able to provide links to PDFs of standard editions of
the same texts for easy cross-referencing. In any case, we hope the
availability of these e-texts will facilitate future research on Dharmaśāstra.
Please join me in a public expression of thanks to Patrick for his typically
tireless scholarly efforts to make these texts available. All inquiries,
suggestions, etc. should be sent to me, but users are warned that the texts are
offered as-is and that we are making continuous updates to the files.
