Sanskrit Study Tools
An appreciation of the Sanskrit language is important for the study of the classic Tibetan books mentioned above, many of which were originally translated from the Sanskrit. For this reason, the Project has input a number of important reference tools for studying and using Sanskrit when working with the Asian classics. Here are some of the highlights:
- As mentioned above, a listing of the Sanskrit-language books held at the Library of Congress.
- The entire text of several editions of the Mahavyutpatti, an extraordinary traditional Sanskrit-Tibetan dictionary, along with some attempted English translations by early Orientalists. This work has again been compiled and provided free to the Project by Mr. Robert Lacey; it is rough and preliminary, but still very useful.
- The complete study of Sanskrit verbs and the words derived from them written by the famed Sanskritist William Dwight Whitney, along with the entire text of his Sanskrit grammar, perhaps the greatest textbook ever written on the subject.
- The Sanskrit and Tibetan portions of a recent trilingual dictionary by Namgyal Tsering; please note that copyright restrictions also apply to this work.
