Gāndhārī Language and Literature

Gāndhārī Language and Literature

 

 

Gāndhārī is a northwestern Middle Indo‐Aryan language closely related to Sanskrit and Pali, attested in use from the third century BCE to the fifth century CE. It served as one of the most important vehicles for early Buddhist literature and was instrumental in the spread of Buddhism to China in the second century CE. Gāndhārī was also an important administrative language, attested in hundreds of coin legends and close to a thousand secular documents, and some examples of non‐Buddhist literary texts in Gāndhārī have likewise been found. In the course of their history, Gāndhārī language and literature spread from their homeland in the Peshawar valley as far as Mathura in the south, Bamiyan in the west, Luoyang in the east and Kucha in the north. Over the last fifteen years, the discovery of large numbers of new manuscript and epigraphical sources have greatly enriched our knowledge of Gāndhārī. Gandhari.org provides resources for those engaged in the study of Gāndhārī, including three reference works edited by Stefan Baums and Andrew Glass (A Dictionary of Gāndhārī, the Bibliography of Gāndhārī Studies and the Catalog of Gāndhārī Texts) and a comprehensive collection of source texts.

National Mission on Monuments and Antiquities, Archaeological Survey of India, Ministry of Culture, Government of India

India is perhaps one of the largest repositories of tangible heritage in the world. A major part of this heritage is preserved in her monuments, sites and antiquities of varied nature. The range of such relics, from the past is indeed very vast and covers a long span of time i.e. prehistoric to colonial times. The monuments, sites and antiquities protected and maintained so far by Archaeological Survey of India and State Archaeology Departments are only a fraction of the total repository of the country. However, most of these have not been documented in a uniform format which can provide a common platform to the scholars, researchers and planners for reference, research and its management in a diligent manner. 

Today, the survival of our heritage has been endangered due to climatic, natural and manmade effects. In the recent years there is also an increasing trend of illicit trafficking of antiquities from India. This is mainly due to lack of public awareness, ignorance of law/act and also about the importance of documentation and preservation. There are few cities in the country where number of important monuments and heritage buildings has been listed from time to time by different institutions and organizations but there is no comprehensive database at one place. Therefore, a proper documentation is felt desideratum to build a credible National database in a uniform format. 

To address these issues, National Mission on Monuments and Antiquities (NMMA) has been set up by Government of India with the objective to document unprotected monuments and sites from both secondary sources and antiquities from primary source in a prescribed format. There are various available sources for documenting this heritage which needs to be utilized and collated through a Mission approach to create a credible National data base. This will take shape of State wise as well as National register of unprotected monuments, sites and antiquities.

Likewise, the existing data on antiquities are also available in different format in the form of Registered Antiquities, Catalogued antiquities with central and different formats adopted by different organizations; it is difficult to bring this data base under one umbrella. In this process, National Mission on Monuments and Antiquities has prepared two uniform formats each for documentation of Monuments, Sites and Antiquities and is actively involved in creating the National data base.

NMMA welcomes suggestions and contributions for the preparation of National register on Monuments, sites and antiquities.

Museums of India: National Portal and Digital Repository

Museums of India: National Portal and Digital Repository

The National Portal and Digital Repository for Indian Museums are developed and hosted by Human-Centred Design & Computing Group, C-DAC, Pune as per the agreement with Ministry of Culture, Government of India. HCDC Group has also developed JATAN: Virtual Museum software which is used for creating the digital collections in various museums and digital archival tools that are used in background for managing the national digital repository of museums. 

Presently as a part of the digitization efforts of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India the digitized collections of 10 selected Museums, as given below, are placed in the digital repository for Indian Museums and also on the National Portal developed by C-DAC, Pune in consultation with the Ministry of Culture along with technical help from the Art Institute of Chicago in the first phase. Subsequently, it will be our endeavour to make available the digitized collections of the remaining museums under the Ministry of Culture/Archaeological Survey of India also on the National Portal.

Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents (CCED)

Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents (CCED)

 

The Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents (CCED) was founded in order to archive, catalogue, and digitize epigraphic materials. The digitized images are to be placed online, allowing scholars easy access to these documents.

The Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents (CCED) is a non-profit organization staffed entirely by volunteer information professionals and graduate students in Information Studies.

Our goal is to become a repository for world inscriptions.

The CCED would be pleased to consider accepting additional collections to add to our online library. Those wishing to donate/make available an epigraphic collection to the Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents should contact the CCED before submitting any material.

Many epigraphic texts are in danger of being lost through environment, negligence, or willful destruction. The CCED regularly works with collections that contain only extant copies of deteriorated or now missing inscriptions. To enable us to continue our work conserving and placing rare and endangered documents online, please consider donating to the CCED.

Help us to protect our world heritage in texts.

ISAW Papers 8 (2014)
Ivory from Muziris*
Federico De Romanis

Abstract: The extant portion of the verso side of the “Muziris papyrus” (PVindob G 40822 v = SB XVIII 13617 v) contains the monetary evaluation of three-quarters of an Indian cargo loaded on the ship Hermapollon. Among the commodities are 167 elephant tusks weighing 3,228.5 kgs and schidai weighing 538.5 kgs. It is argued that schidai are fragments of tusks trimmed away from captive elephants. A comparison with commercial ivory lots of the early sixteenth century shows the selected quality of the tusks loaded on the Hermapollon.

Subjects: India--Relations--Rome, Ivory industry, Economic history--to 500.

The ABIA Project (Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology)

[First posted in AWOL 1 April 2012, updated 26 March 2014]

The ABIA Project (Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology)

The ABIA project is a global network of scholars co-operating on an annotated bibliographic database for publishers covering South and Southeast Asian art and archaeology. The project was launched in 1997 at the initiative of the International Institute for Asian Studies in Leiden, the Netherlands, in colloaboration with international scholars and Asian academic institutes. The project receives scientific support from UNESCO.
The database ABIA South and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology Index is fully searchable and is freely accessible. Extracts from the database are also available in the form of printed bibliographies.

ABIA Index

The ABIA Index is a bibliographic database on South and Southeast Asian art and archaeology compiled by an international team of specialists. ABIA index supplies annotated and indexed entries on scholarly publications in Asian and European languages relating to prehistory, (proto)historical archaeology, art history (including modern art), material culture, epigraphy, palaeography, numismatics and sigillography. The ABIA Index continues the old Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology (ABIA).

History

The first issue of the Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology was published in Leiden in 1928 under the direction of the reknowned Sanskrit scholar and archaeologist, Prof. Jean Philippe Vogel. Its utility and importance made ABIA an impressive bibliographic series with a publication run over 50 years. Thanks to the support of the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS), the Jan Gonda Foundation in Amsterdam and the Faculty of Arts of the Universiteit Leiden, ABIA was re-launched in 1997 as the globally networked ABIA Index.

ABIA Database

The ABIA Index covers publications on pre- and proto-historical archaeology, historical archaeology, ancient and modern art history, material culture, epigraphy, paleography, numismatics and sigillography of South and Southeast Asia and of culturally related regions: Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Tibet, the 'Silk Road', South China and the Pacific.

Search IIAS

Search PGIAR

The Index covers scholarly publications from 1996, ranging from survey works and monographs to articles in journals and monographs, reviews and PhD dissertations. The ABIA Index provides detailed bibliographic (with the original diacritics) as well as annotations for each of the publications covered. Indexes by author, subject, and geographic area further facilitate searches. While the database is in English, publications originate from a multi-lingual palette, ensuring both variety and broad scope.

The database is compiled by several international teams of specialists, each covering a fixed geographic area and well-defined set of bibliographic materials. Each office creates its own database. All data can be linked through a 'Search all' function.

Online Exhibition Catalog: Das Antlitz des Fremden

Das Antlitz des Fremden

Die Münzen der Hunnen und Westtürken in Zentralasien und Indien

Ab 1. Dezember 2012 wird im Münzkabinett des Kunsthistorischen Museums eine Sonderausstellung über die Münzprägung der „Iranischen Hunnen“ und Westtürken in Zentralasien und Nordwest-Indien zu sehen sein. Der chronologische Rahmen spannt sich vom ausgehenden 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. bis in islamische Zeit

Historischer Überblick
Unter „Hunnen“ werden im Laufe der Zeit verschiedene Gruppierungen verstanden, von den Völkern, zu deren Abwehr die Chinesische Mauer erbaut wurde, bis zu jenen Verbänden, die unter der Herrschaft des sagenhaften Königs Attila († 453 n. Chr.) standen und Europa verheerten. Dies ist jedoch gesamthaft gesehen nur eine relativ kurze Episode. Wesentlich wirkungsstärker waren die Hunnen für die Geschichte, die Kultur und nicht zuletzt auch für die Münzprägung in Zentralasien und Nordindien, wie diese Ausstellung zeigen soll.
Die große Wanderbewegung der Hunnen aus dem mittelasiatischen Altai-Gebirge nach Westen begann im Laufe des 4. Jahrhunderts. Um 375 n. Chr. hatte ein Teil der späteren Attila-Hunnen bereits die Wolga überschritten und stieß weiter nach Europa vor. Andere Gruppen wendeten sich nach Süden, fielen in der Landschaft Sogdiana (im heutigen Usbekistan) ein, überschritten den Fluss Oxus (Amudarja) und setzten sich in Baktrien (das heutige Nord-Afghanistan) fest. Von dort führte sie ihr Weg weiter über die Gebirgsketten des Hindukusch bis in die Regionen Gandhara und Uddiyana (Swat-Tal), den Punjab (im heutigen Pakistan) und weiter nach Nordwest-Indien.

Die zeitgenössischen griechischen und römischen Historiker ließen kein gutes Haar an den Hunnen. Sie werden als „zweibeinige Bestien“, hässlich und grausam beschrieben. Gefürchtet war die hunnische Reiterei, die den römischen wie persischen Truppen arg zusetzte. Auch die Inder sagten den Hunnen nichts Gutes nach und schoben ihnen gar die Zerstörung buddhistischer Klöster und anderer religiöser Einrichtungen in die Schuhe. Heute wissen wir, dass davon keine Rede sein kann. Das zeigen nicht nur die von den Hunnen in Zentralasien und Indien geprägten Münzen, die in ihre Bildersprache verschiedene religiöse Symbole aus dem Buddhismus, Hinduismus und Zoroastrismus aufnehmen, sondern auch zahlreiche andere archäologische Hinterlassenschaften, die die Hunnen als Stifter buddhistischer Heiligtümer und Förderer einheimischer Religionen ausweisen. Während von den europäischen Hunnen keine eigene Münzprägung überliefert ist, entfalteten ihre „iranischen“ Verwandten eine überaus reiche Prägetätigkeit, die ein einzigartiges Zeugnis für die Geschichte Zentralasiens und Nordwest-Indiens in der Spätantike darstellt. Sie bietet ungeahnte Einblicke in das Selbstverständnis der hunnischen Herren und zeigt, welch vielfältige politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Einflüsse auf sie wirkten.

Beherrschende Macht in der Region waren die persischen Sasaniden (s. Vitrine 2), die stets danach trachteten, auch in Zentralasien und Nordwest-Indien Präsenz zu zeigen. Nach der Mitte des 3. Jahrhunderts hatten die Sasaniden bereits Teile des zerfallenden Kuschan-Reichs in Zentralasien erobert, und sie standen ab der Mitte des 4. Jahrhunderts in ständiger Auseinandersetzung mit den Hunnen, die ihre nordöstlichen Grenzen bedrohten. Mit dem Vordringen der Hunnen nach Indien kam es auch zur Konfrontation mit den Herrschern der mächtigen Gupta-Dynastie, die ihrerseits versuchten, den hunnischen Vormarsch zu stoppen (s. Vitrinen 5 und 9). Allen Widerständen zum Trotz gelang es den Hunnen jedoch, sich in den Kernzonen ihres Herrschaftsbereichs zu behaupten, der sich von Baktrien bis in den Punjab erstreckte. Allerdings darf man sich dieses Hunnenreich nicht als einheitliches Gebilde wie das Imperium Romanum vorstellen; es bestand vielmehr aus zahlreichen größeren und kleineren Herrschaften. Sie wurden von Königen verschiedener Stammesverbände regiert, die mitunter auch gegeneinander zu Felde zogen. Dies spiegelt sich nicht zuletzt in der Münzprägung wieder, die ein dichtes Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen den einzelnen Münzausgaben und ihren Prägeherren offenbart.
