TULSI-PRAJNA, Oct.-Dec., 1992
The controversy arising out of this assertion is called "the Dahlmann iiterature" by M. Winternitz. H. Jacobi's book on the Rāmāyana was re-edited by E. Frauwallner, Darmstadt, 1970, who discussed later publications in this field in the introduction. A. Baumgartner also specialised on the Rāmāyana, Today H. Brinkhaus (Hamburg) and G. V. Simson (Oslo) work on Epic Literature. Puranas
The Purāņas were the subject of W. Kirfel's research. He came to the conclusion that most Purānas had certain passages in common which belong to the oldest strata of this literature. P. Hacker continued the line of research, instigated by W. Kirfel. W. Ruben's "Krishna studies'', 1936, 1937, deserves to be mentioned in this context. H. von Stietencron (Tuebingen) studied the influence of Iran on Indian sun worship in Indische Sannenpriester, śmba und die Sakadvipīya Brāhmaṇa (Indian sun priests. Samba and the sākadvīpīya Brāhmana), Wiesbaden, 1966. A. Gali (Berlin) wrote Bhakti in Bhagavata Purāņa, Wiesbaden, 1969. Extensive work on the Purāņas is today being done in Tuebingen under H. V. Stietencron. Buddhism and Jainism
Buddhism and Jainism were studied extensively in Germany, Buddhism, in fact, has many followers in Germany. Buddhist texts were translated into German by K. E. Neumann, K. Seidenstuecker, Nyanatiloka (A. Gueth), and W. Geiger. The Dhammapada was translatəd by several authors. German translations are listed by H. Hecker in Der Pali Kanon, Ein Wegweisr, Hamburg, 1965. From 1904 onwards, Buddhist Sanskrit texts from Central Asia were published by H. Lueders, E. Waldschmidt, and the latter's students O. von Hinuebers, Freiburg, studied Gilgit manuscripts. H. wrote a thesis Das Samghātasstra, Ausgabe und kammentierte Uebersetzung eines nort-buddistischen Lehrtexts in Sanskrit und Sakish (The Samghātasūtra. Text-edition and annotated translation of a Northern Buddhist text in Sanskrit and Saka), 1980. H. Oldenberg's book on the Buddha is still a classic. H. von Glasenapp's book on Buddhism is a good introduction for general reader. A more recent publication is Die Religion des Buddhismus, Berlin 1962/63, by D. Schlinloff (Muenchen). Modern trends in Buddhism were treated by H. Bechert (Goettingen) in Buddhismus, Staat und Gesellschaft (Buddhism, State and Society), 1967-73. E. Frauwallner wrote about Buddhist philosophy in "History of Indian Philosophy". H. Eimer (Bonn), L. Schmithausen (Hamburg), T. Vetter, (Leiden), and E. Steinkelluer (Wien), are scholars of the younger grneration who have
