Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. The monumental, two-volume definitive study of the arms collection at Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur. Weighing over 6 kg, this set is the result of decades of research by Robert Elgood. It challenges the "Mughal-centric" view of Indian arms history, arguing for a distinct and continuous Hindu/Rajput tradition of sword-making that predated and survived the Islamic empires. Volume Breakdown: Volume I: Focuses on the history of the Rathore clan, the spiritual significance of weapons in Rajput culture (Shastra-puja), and the early swords of the Maharajas. Volume II: Covers the 18th and 19th centuries, including daggers, lances, elephant goads (ankus), and the transition to modern firearms. Significance: This is widely considered the most important book on Indian arms published in the last 20 years. Two large Quartos. 1024 pages total. Housed in a pictorial sturdy slipcase. Interior is clean and unmarked. Dustjacket shows some shelf wear. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1717355252619
