Dear Friends: As we enter a new year, I want to bring to your attention the book series funded by The Ludo and Rosane Rocher Foundation: The Rocher Indology Series. The series is Open Access and published by Oxford University Series. You can find information about the series here: https://rocherfoundation.org/services/
The intent of "The Rocher Indology Series" is to publish cutting-edge research relating to the study of India's past. We expect the volumes in the series to represent true advances, both substantive and theoretical, in the field. The range of subjects includes textual studies, taking "text" to mean not just literary productions, but also inscriptions, archives, and documents in any form, including art and artifacts. Further, they include archeology, music, and understudied areas such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and the natural sciences. The series welcomes, besides traditional monographs, critical editions and translations of significant texts, and histories of the field of Indology and of its practitioners. We seek to facilitate the publication of quality scholarly work in a major academic press with a strong presence in India. We hope the series will help grow the field not only in depth, but also in breadth and diversity. We want especially to inform scholars that the series is open to scholarly translations of pre-modern texts in Sanskrit and other premodern languages. They may include critically constituted texts as well. Given the difficulties facing scholars engaging in translations, we welcome translators to consider the Rocher Indology Series. Wishing you all a very productive new year, Patrick Olivelle Editor _______________________________________________ INDOLOGY mailing list [email protected] https://list.indology.info/mailman/listinfo/indology
