to reach a high standard?
Teach Yourself Sanskrit is not
only a primer, but also a work of scholarship, for the
book contains much original material on Sanskrit syntax
and usage. The carefully graded chapters explain Sanskrit
grammar and style with exceptional clarity. The text
includes an introduction to the nâgarî script,
a useful explanation of how to use Sanskrit commentaries,
plenty of examples from actual Sanskrit works, extensive
vocabularies into and out of Sanskrit and a full key
to all the exercises.

| Michael
Coulson, the author, taught Sanskrit at the University
of Edinburgh. He died before the book was published and
Richard Gombrich, currently Boden Professor of
Sanskrit at Oxford University, saw the book through the
press. James Benson, University Lecturer at Oxford
University, carried out a light revision for both this
and the second edition of the book. |
