Omschrijving
A Treatise on Dharma, written in the fourth or fifth century, illuminates major innovations in religious, civil, and criminal law, and informed Indian life for a thousand years. This new critical edition, presented alongside the Sanskrit original in the Devanagari script, opens the classical age of ancient Indian law to modern readers.
Patrick Olivelle is Emeritus Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Religions at the University of Texas at Austin.
