Ranbir Singhs Juwelenbrosche und Aigrette
Einleitung und Edition
Volume 1 documents for the first time, through a partial edition of 19 chapters, the portion of this Sanskrit work that can be most reliably established on the basis of available manuscript witnesses. The accompanying introduction explores the historical circumstances of the transfer of the text from New Persian. By determining the method of translation and providing a comprehensive account of Sāhibrām’s translation techniques — illustrated with numerous examples and synoptic tables — it is shown how Muḥsin’s Ethics ultimately became Ranbir Singh’s turban ornament.
The edited Sanskrit text and a diplomatic transcription of the main text of the unedited chapters have been published as research data. These are available for download at: https://doi.org/10.11588/DATA/LTF9NA
