Suhṛdayasaṃhitā

A Compendium of Studies on South Asian Culture, Phi­losophy, and Religion. Dedicated to Dominik Wujastyk

The Suhṛdayasaṃhitā is an edited volume dedicated to Dominik Wujastyk that brings together thirteen studies on South Asian intellectual and cultural history from the beginning of the common era to the present day. The multi-disciplinarity and vitality of the academic fields of Indology and South Asian Studies are on full display from chapter to chapter, as leading scholars ask new questions and propose new methods to explore critical topics in their respective fields, including the relationship of the Gāndhāri and Sanskrit languages, bird divination in Indian and cross-cultural contexts, the world view and ethics of early Ayurveda, line drawings in alchemical Sanskrit manuscripts, cannabis in traditional alchemy (Rasaśāstra), deontic logic and terminological problems in Mīmāṃsā and Dharmaśāstra, the identification of an obscure Yoga work referenced in the commentarial literature of the Mahābhārata, psychological transformation and spiritual liberation in Pātañjala Yoga and Buddhism, Sanskrit editorial techniques and the history of printing, the human genome project and the Mahābhārata’s text genealogy, and, finally, the academic pedagogy of contemporary medical anthropology. The time-tested method of analyzing primary sources in Sanskrit and Middle-Indo-Arian languages within their culture-specific historical contexts is fertilized by neuroscience, psychology, evolutionary biology, and anthropology.

In its thematic and methodological diversity, the festschrift, which concludes with a list of Dominik Wujastyk’s works and three indexes, mirrors the broad range of academic interests and expertise of the scholar it is dedicated to.

Philipp A. Maas is a Visiting Professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, following previous appointments at the Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg, the University of Leipzig, the University of Vienna, and the University of Bonn. Philipp is a historian of thought interested in premodern South Asian cultural, religious, and philosophical history. His primary areas of teaching and research are early classical Ayurveda, pre-classical and classical Sāṅkhya-Yoga, ancient Nyāya philosophy, and narrative literature from various perspectives and with multiple methods.

Anthony Cerulli is Professor of South Asian Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (USA), where he is also the Director of the Center for South Asia and the Director of the Health and the Humanities Program. Anthony teaches courses on the histories of religions and medicines in South Asia, global medical and health humanities, and the practice and production of ethnography in Asia. His scholarship investigates the intersections and entanglements of premodern literary cultures at contemporary sites of ritual healing and medical education in India.
