Rezeption und Weiterentwicklung indischen Kulturgutes in Zentralasien und Versuche der zeitlichen Einordnung. 2. Indische Alphabete und ihr Verhaltnis zur Phonologie der zentralasiatischen Sprachen (Altturkisch, Sakisch, Tocharisch). Fourteen papers are published in: Sprachen des Buddhismus in Zentralasien (Wiesbaden, 1983, cf. IIJ ); the following papers are published in the report but only in abstract form: Oskar von Hinuber, 'Zur Verwendung der Brahmi-Schrift im Khotan-Sakischen' (p. 283): Jens Peter Forschungsprojekt "Indisches Lehngut im Altturkischen"' (pp. 284-285); Klaus T.

The editor has also used several unpublished commentaries on the anumana section of the Tattvacintamani. His detailed analysis (pp. 19-50) will be useful in the study of this difficult text in which many textual problems remain to be solved.

164 RECENT PUBLICATIONS David Pingree, A Catalogue of the Chandra Shum Shere Collection in the Bodleian Library. Part 1: Jyotihsastra. Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1984. XX, 172 pp. PS25.-. The Chandra Shum Shere Collection contains more than six thousand manuscripts which belonged to a Benares pandit and were presented to Oxford in 1909. The general editor, Jonathan Katz, gives a brief history of the acquisition of the collection and the cataloguing of the manuscripts, by T. R. Gambier-Parry who died in 1935, by E. H. Johnston from 1937 to 1942 and by V. Raghavan in 1953-1954. The collection has been divided into broad subject classes, each of which will be catalogued by a specialist in the field. Needless to say, no better start could have been made than by this volume on jyotihsastra by the foremost specialist, Professor David Pingree. In his introduction, Pingree writes that "the collection of jyotisa manuscripts as a whole, then, consists primarily (as do most collections) of copies of standard works, copies made for the most part in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries" (p. xviii). Pingree draws attention to some works hitherto unknown, and announces his intention to edit a number of them. The catalogue contains detailed descriptions of each manuscript, including the complete text of the colophons and post-colophons. Moreover, Pingree has carefully transcribed the notes, quotations and scribblings made by scribes and owners on blank pages because of what they reveal about the lives, interests, and reading material of the people who owned the manuscripts. Hermann Oldenberg, Metrische und textgeschichtliche Prolegomena zu einer kritischen RigvedaAusgabe (Koelner Sarasvati Series, vol. 3). Wiesbaden, Franz Steiner Verlag GmbH, 1982. X, 545 pp. DM 60,-. In 1967 Klaus Janert published in two big volumes Oldenberg's Kleine Schriften. This reprint too, after almost one hundred years, of his famous Prolegomena (Berlin, 1888) is extremely welcome. It is to be hoped that Janert, the editor of the Koelner Sarasvati Series, will also publish Oldenberg's Zur Geschichte der altindischen Prosa (Berlin, 1917) and his Vorwissenschaftliche Wissenschaft (Gottingen, 1919), as both publications have been out of print for many years. Nyayadarsanam. With Vatsyayana's Bhasya, Uddyotakara's Varttika, Vacaspati Misra's Tatparyatika & Visvanatha's Vitti (Rinsen Sanskrit Text Series, 1-1, 1-2). Kyoto, Rinsen. Book Co., 1982. Volume I, 6, 8,4, 12, 695 pp.; Volume II, pp. 697-1202. Yen 14.000. The Rinsen Book Co. has rendered a great service by reprinting this edition of the Nyayadarsana by Taranatha Nyaya-Tarkatirtha, Amarendramohan Tarkatirtha and Hemantakumar Tarkatirtha (Calcutta Sanskrit Series, Nos. 18 and 29, Calcutta, 1936-1944) which has not yet been replaced, since Anantalal Thakur's edition of the Nyayadarsana, which contains also Udayana's Parisuddhi (Darbhanga, 1967), has not yet progressed beyond the first volume (Darbhanga, 1967).
