This book is the 1965 edition of Comparative Grammar of the Prākrit Languages, the most important English translation of a classic German work by Richard Pischel. An Indian scholar, Subhadra Jhā, translated the book.Prakrit languages were the everyday languages of ancient India, connecting old Sanskrit to modern languages like Hindi and Marathi. They were also used in major religions like Jainism and Buddhism. Pischel's grammar was the first to scientifically analyze these languages, creating a foundation for future research.The author, Richard Pischel 1849-1908, was a leading German expert on India who tragically died during his first visit to the country. The publisher, Motilal Banarsidass, is a respected Indian company founded in 1903.This hardcover copy is in good condition for its age, with a strong binding but no dust jacket. The cover has some shelf wear, and the pages are toned. It is a great copy for reading and research.This book is a historical artifact.
