A Sanskrit Treasury
A Compendium of Literature from the Clay Sanskrit Library
Camillo A FormigattiPostscript summary
Paying tribute to the rich literary tradition that ‘enlightened India and the rest of Asia’, this anthology presents excerpts from key stories and poems held by the Clay Sanskrit Library, including the Life of the Buddha and Hindu foundational myths. Modern English translations face the original texts, which are illustrated with images such as palm-leaf manuscripts, Mughal miniatures and watercolours from the Bodleian Library's manuscript collection, and introduced with notes on their context.
