Synopsis

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Grihya Sutras Part 1 (1886) translated by Hermann Oldenberg, is volume XXIX of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. It is a collection of the rules related to domestic ceremonies according to Sankhyana, Asvalayana, Paraskara, and Khadia and is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

HERMANN OLDENBERG (1854-1920) was a German scholar and professor considered an expert in Buddhism and Hinduism. His study of Rigveda, the oldest Vedic Sanskrit text, was considered groundbreaking, and his book Buddha: his life, his doctrine, his order (1882) led to the popularization of Buddhism. F. MAX MÜLLER (1823-1900) was a German author and orientalist who lived in England most of his life. As a professor at Oxford, he combined the studies of language, culture, and religion to create the discipline of comparative mythology. His body of work included The Sacred Books of the East, which he had edited.
