Description: Grammar of the Sanskrit Language by Charles Wilkins Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description East India Company employee Charles Wilkins (1749–1836) became fluent in Sanskrit during his time in India, and in 1808 published this work, a comprehensive attempt to introduce and explain the ancient Indian language to an English-speaking public. Publisher Description While working for the East India Company in Bengal, Charles Wilkins (1749–1836) became one of first Europeans to master the Sanskrit language. He proceeded to set up a printing press in Calcutta to publish works in Sanskrit and other Indian languages. Wilkins also undertook further related projects, including this work, published in London in 1808, which was part of his larger scheme to write a dictionary of the language and to translate a great epic poem, the Mahabharata. The grammar was the only part of the project that was completed. He never finished the dictionary, and only translated about one-third of the poem, though the part he worked on, the Bhagavad-Gita, became famous. The grammar attempts a comprehensive explanation of the language, ranging from the Devanagari alphabet to indeclinable words, and it was a vital resource in making Indian languages accessible to an English-speaking public. Author Biography Charles Wilkins is the author of eight books, including two national bestsellers, Paddle to the Amazon (with Don Starkell) and After the Applause. "Wilkins writes with flair and insight, and is not satisfied simply to relate what is obvious about his subject." - Martin Levin, The Globe & Mail Details ISBN 1108030262 ISBN-13 9781108030267 Title Grammar of the Sanskrit Language Author Charles Wilkins Format Paperback Year 2011 Pages 696 Publisher Cambridge University Press GE_Item_ID:36360017; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
