Beschreibung

"Sir M. Monier--Williams Sanskrit - English Dictionary is beyond any doubt the most consulted dictionary in the world of Sanskrit scholarship. Based on the seven volume Sanskrit-German Dictionary of Bohtlingk and Roth it has the enormous advantage of condensing the information contained in that great Sanskrit-German Dictionary. Sir Monier--Williams also went beyond Bohtlingk and Roth and added the meanings of many compounds that were not included in the German Dictionary. He wrote as well many cultural and mythological notes that help in the proper understanding of the Sanskrit terms. The dictionary is structured along etymological principles, the words being arranged under their roots. This device helps the student to relate words to their original based giving thereby a deeper insight into the structure of the language. The abundant allusions to cognate Indo-European languages and the textual references are an invaluable help in tracing the development of word meanings in the long history of Sanskrit Literature. The present work contains more than 180,000 words.".
