While its civilizations possessed remarkably sophisticated tools and methods of textual analysis, interpretation, and transmission, they lacked any sense of a common disciplinary or intellectual project uniting these; indeed they lacked a word for ‘philology’ altogether. Arguing that such pseudepigraphical genres as the Sanskrit purāṇas and tantras incorporated modes of philological reading and writing, Cox demonstrates the ways in which the production of these works in turn motivated the invention of new kinds of śāstric scholarship. Combining close textual analysis with wider theoretical concerns, Cox traces this philological transformation in the works of the dramaturgist Śāradātanaya, the celebrated Vaiṣṇava poet-theologian Veṅkaṭanātha, and the maverick Śaiva mystic Maheśvarānanda.Philological Encounters Monographs01.Philology, ModernResearchIndia, SouthManuscripts, SanskritIndia, SouthHistoryDiscourse analysis, LiteraryIndia, SouthLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingIndia, SouthSanskrit languageHistory and criticismLiterature and societyIndiaHistoryDiscourse analysis, LiteraryfastLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingfastLiterature and societyfastManuscripts, SanskritfastPhilology, ModernResearchfastSanskrit languagefastIndiafastIndia, SouthfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastLiterature: history & criticismPhilology, ModernResearchManuscripts, SanskritHistory.Discourse analysis, LiteraryLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingSanskrit languageHistory and criticism.Literature and societyHistory.Discourse analysis, Literary.Language and languagesStudy and teaching.Literature and society.Manuscripts, Sanskrit.Philology, ModernResearch.Sanskrit language.491/.1Cox Whitney973406NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910220028103321Modes of philology in medieval South India2214571UNINA
