1962Best.-Nr. 16434Indian Studies Past & Present Calcutta 1962. 4to. with diagrams in the text; original boards covers lightly age-marked else a good clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper the latter lightly frayed and creased at edges. Buhler's classic study was first published in the German language in 1898; the first English translation prepared by Fleet appeared in 1904 as an appendix in 'Indian Antiquary'. There the situation rested for over fifty years until the work was reissued in 'Indian Studies' in 1959 when for the first time the separately printed portfolio of plates and transliteration tables appeared with English captions. This edition was rapidly exhausted and thus the present reissue was produced. This reissue provides a verbatim reproduction of the 1959 edition together with Max-Muller's Obituary Note on Buhler originally published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1898 and Fleet's Introductory Notes to the text as published in 1904 Sadly the rare separate portfolio is not present with this copy which is quite sufficiently elusive in its own right.
