I am pleased to announce that the Canadian government, through the SSHRC <https://sshrc-crsh.canada.ca/>, has funded a new project focussed on the evolution of the text of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā* (SS). The project is called "The Compendium of Suśruta in Time and Space: Mapping a Medical Tradition."
Information about the first SS project, 2020-2024, can be found here: http://sushrutaproject.org. See especially the page on Project Outputs <https://sushrutaproject.org/project-publications/>. While the 2020 project focussed on establishing the text of the SS as it was in the ninth century, the new project has a different focus, and will examine the editorial campaign that pervasively altered the text in the centuries after 900 CE until it reached the "vulgate" version that we find in printed editions today. It is a project on textual and medical history. The website of the new project is still under development, but can already be consulted here: https://sushrutaproject2.github.io/website/ (shortcut http://sushrutaproject2.org). I am grateful to the anonymous SSHRC project reviewers for giving the application high marks. I am also grateful to the Project Collaborators, Angermeier, Vitus University of Vienna Koythodi Parameswaran, Madhu Vaidyaratnam P. S. Varier Ayurveda College Li, Charles University of Hamburg Maas, Philipp Universität Leipzig Zysk, Kenneth University of Copenhagen who supported the writing of the project application and will guide it over the next four years. Best wishes, Dominik Wujastyk -- Dominik Wujastyk <https://apps.ualberta.ca/directory/person/wujastyk> , Professor Emeritus, Classical Indian History University of Alberta, Canada .
