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 pur??as 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 ??stric scholarship. Combining close textual analysis with wider theoretical concerns, Cox traces this philological transformation in the works of the dramaturgist ??rad?tanaya, the celebrated Vai??ava poet-theologian Ve?ka?an?tha, and the maverick ?aiva mystic Mahe?var?nanda. 410 0$aPhilological Encounters Monographs$v01. 606 $aPhilology, Modern$xResearch$zIndia, South 606 $aManuscripts, Sanskrit$zIndia, South$xHistory 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Literary$zIndia, South 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$zIndia, South 606 $aSanskrit language$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Literary$2fast 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$2fast 606 $aLiterature and society$2fast 606 $aManuscripts, Sanskrit$2fast 606 $aPhilology, Modern$xResearch$2fast 606 $aSanskrit language$2fast 607 $aIndia$2fast 607 $aSouth India$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPhilology, Modern$xResearch 615 0$aManuscripts, Sanskrit$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Literary 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aSanskrit language$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 7$aDiscourse analysis, Literary. 615 7$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 7$aLiterature and society. 615 7$aManuscripts, Sanskrit. 615 7$aPhilology, Modern$xResearch. 615 7$aSanskrit language. 676 $a491/.1 700 $aCox$b Whitney$0973406 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220028103321 996 $aModes of philology in medieval South India$92214571 997 $aUNINA
