Book Description
Anantadas is the first 'biographer' who, around 1600, wrote about the most popular bhakti poets of the 15th and 16th centuries in Northern India. This critical study of these manuscripts yields a broad spectrum of the linguistic and morphological variants. It also reveals the processes of oral and scribal transmission during this time when sectarian interests appropriated certain poets and changed their 'biographies' accordingly.

Book Description
An interdisciplinary study of the cultural meaning and uses of food in India and Sri Lanka, drawing on the abundant commentary by saints, ritualists, poets, and the divine, in both religious and literary contexts. The eight papers, some from a January 1985 conference, Food Systems and Communications Structures, in Mysore, India, focus on the long-term, wide spread significance of food, rather than on caste differences, changing diets, or a comparison between Hindu and Buddhist approaches. Includes a glossary without pronunciation. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
This second volume of the Corpus Topographicum Indiae Antiquae is the result of an analysis of the available archaeological sources, the identification of problematic place names, the location of c. 10300 archaeological sites, and their indication on a map. The work constitutes, therefore, a general synthesis of the actual knowledge in the field of Indian archaeology and can serve as a basis for further research. The atlas, and the indices, which mention old and modern variant forms of the place names, form an indispensable research and work tool for various branches of Asiatic studies, in particular those dealing with the Indian subcontinent and South Asia: archaeology, numismatics, art history, historical geography, toponomy, philology.

Book Description
Words and Deeds is a collection of articles on rituals in South Asia with a special focus on their texts and context. The volume presupposes that a comprehensive definition of "ritual" does not exist. Instead, the papers in it avoid essentialist definitions, allowing for a possible polythetic definition of the concept to emerge. Papers in this volume include those on Initiation, Pre-Natal Rites, Religious Processions, Royal Consecration, Rituals which mark the commencement of ritual, Rituals of devotion and Vedic sacrifice as well as contributions which address the broader theoretical issues of engaging in the study of ritual texts and ritual practice, both from the etic and the emic perspective. These studies show that any study of the relationship between the text and the context of rituals must also allow for the possibility that different categories of performers can and do subjectively constitute the relationship between their ritual knowledge and ritual practice, between text and context in differing and nuanced ways.
