Indologica. T. Ya. Elizarenkova Memorial Volume. Book 2

Kulikov, Leonid [UCL] Rusanov, Maxim

The present volume is dedicated to the memory of the outstanding Russian Indologist Tatyana Yakovlevna Elizarenkova (1929–2007). It is the sequel to Part 1 of Indologica, which was published in 2008. Both volumes include studies on Indian literature, languages, philosophy and art. Among the contributors are renowned Indologists from Russia, the USA, Germany, France and other European countries. In the concluding part of the volume, a few letters to T. Ya. Elizarenkova from the outstanding Dutch Indologist and Indo-Europeanist F. B. J. Kuiper, one of the greatest scholars of Indo-Iranian philology and mythology, are published. The book concludes with Tatyana Elizarenkova’s previously unpublished article on the names of rivers in the Rigveda. Thus, this volume carries on the publication of Elizarenkova’s scholarly work, following the posthumous publication of the last two volumes of her Russian translation of the Atharvaveda – the project she had been working on till the last days of her life — by the Publishing House “Vostočnaja Literatura” (Oriental Literature) in 2007 and 2010.
