Select Contents of Oriental Journals

Vol. 5 · No. 1March - 1929pp. 165–169English

Summary

This section offers an annotated bibliography of articles published in various Oriental journals during the preceding year. It summarises papers from sources like the Calcutta Review, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society and the Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft. The editor provides a brief description of each article, covering topics ranging from prehistoric excavations at Mohenjo‑daro, interpretations of the Mahābhārata, analysis of Tamil inscriptions and discoveries at Nagari. The section highlights contributions by Indian as well as European scholars and notes reviews of newly published books. By collating these contents, the section serves as a research guide for readers of the Quarterly, enabling them to identify articles relevant to their interests without consulting each journal individually.
