on Indo-Aryan 1953-1979, compiled by Royce Wiles, Faculty of Asian Studies Monographs : New Series No. 17, Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University, GPO Box 4, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia, 1991, pp. xii +223 + 1.
The Faculty of Asian Studies of the Australian National University is to be congratulated for publishing 26 articles of L A Schwarzschild on Middle Indo-Aryan. The book, in Royal Octavo size and containing 223 pages, is compiled by Royce Wiles and is published "on the occasion of Dr Luise Hercus's retirement in 1991 from the Readership in Sanskrit which she has held since 1973 in the Faculty of Asian Studies of the Australian National University". It is a good thing that 'some of her colleagues, friends and former pupils have decided to reprint in book form the collection of 26 articles in the field of Middle Indo-Aryan studies which she published under the name of L A Schwarzschild between 1953 and 1979'. The articles are lithographically reproduced from the original Journals with original type-setting and pagination, giving, of course, the new pagination mark at the bottom. As the articles are printed in different type-setting, the book reminds us the shades and flavour of original sources and taste. It is true, indeed, that many of these articles are well-known to scholars working in the same field, but some of those published in commemorative volumes are less well-known and are not easy to come by'. The members of the Faculty Council of the Asian Studies have rendered a yeoman's service to the scholarly world for making these scattered articles available in a book form, for which they are to be thanked.
