Reviews

By Narayan M. Kansara

Vol. 191994-1995pp. 155–175English

Summary

The reviews section contains several notices of recent books. One detailed review discusses a felicitation volume honouring Prof. J.C. Jain on his seventieth birthday. This volume begins with a biography of Jain and a bibliography of his publications, followed by essays from colleagues and students on topics ranging from Jaina epigraphy, philology and linguistics to comparative religion and art history. The reviewer praises the breadth of subjects covered and notes that contributors include leading scholars from India and abroad. Other short reviews evaluate recent works on Sanskrit poetics, history and philosophy, summarising their contents and assessing their scholarly contribution. The reviewer commends meticulous editing but occasionally points out lapses in proofreading or uneven coverage.

Conclusion

The reviews collectively illustrate the vibrancy of Indological scholarship in the mid‑1990s. They celebrate festschrift volumes and monographs while candidly identifying editorial shortcomings. The conclusion suggests that such reviews not only guide readers toward significant publications but also foster higher standards in academic publishing through constructive critique.
