History of Indological Studies: Papers of the 12th World Sanskrit Conference Vol. 11.2
History of Indological studies
The history of Western knowledge of Indian began about 2500 years ago, but the history of Indology only about 230 years ago. It happened in Kolkata, as a fusion of colonial and scholarly interests, but also not uninfluenced by the scholarly traditions of India. In the next 75 years Indological chairs were founded in important universities in most European countries. The present volume contains a general introduction to the history of South Asian studies, a bibliography and six case studies of different aspects, including early Indological studies in India, Indological traditions in Sweden and Denmark, sanskrit studies in Russian cultural history, Ukrainian translations from Sanskrit and the Sanskrit correspondence between the French Indologist Sylvain Levi and the Nepalese scholar Hemaraja Sarma.

Logic in Earliest Classical India: Papers of the 12th World Sanskrit Conference held in Helsinki, Finland, 13-18 July 2003 Vol. 10.2
The last two decades of Indological research have led to a marked increase in the investigation of logic in India, especially in the earliest period of classical India. A panel of senior and junior scholars from America, Asia, and Europe, all specialists working in this area, was concerned at the 12th World Sanskrit Conference, held in Helsinki in the summer of 2003. This volume contains not only their papers, which address both philosophical and philological matters pertaining to logic as propounded in texts from this period, but also an introduction designed to permit non-specialists, whether non-Indologists or non-philosophers, to learn about Indian logic in its infancy.

Origin and Growth of the Puranic Text Corpus: With Special Reference to the Skandapurana
Origin and Growth of the Puranic Text Corpus: With Special Reference to the Skandapurana
The Purana panel that was part of the 12th World Sanskrit Conference that was held in Helsinki in July 2003 was intended to investigate deviations from the original Purana texts, and the papers that were presented at that panel are gathered in this collection. They concentrate mostly on the original Skandapurana, which is an excellent resource for research on the beginnings, development, and growth of the Purana writings as well as the theological advancements that these works depict.
The order in which the chapters of this book are presented has a purpose, even if each chapter may be read independently of the others. The first portion of Bakker’s contribution might be seen as a kind of introduction to the topic being discussed. The second component of the analysis focuses on a portion of the text in which the distinction between recension and other categories does not have a significant impact. Torzsok and Harimoto’s contributions centre on the transmission of the Purana and its evolution into a variety of recensions during the course of their research.

Epic Undertakings: Papers of the 12th World Sanskrit Conference Vol.2
The present volume places before the Indological community the sixteen learned papers presented at the conference by the distinguished group of scholars who were in attendance. The topics and methodologies of the authors are as varied and diverse as the contents of the monumental poems themselves but each contribution sheds new light on some aspect of the genetic and/or receptive history of these works, their relationship to each other and to other Indic texts, or the representation and analysis of specific characters and episodes in the poems.
