Originalbroschur. Etat : Gut. 59 S. Aus dem Nachlass von Dr. Dieter George (1935-1985), Geschäftsführer der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft (ab 1977), Direktor der Orientabteilung der Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz (ab 1972) und Herausgeber des "Verzeichnis Orientalischer Handschriften in Deutschland" (VOHD, ab 1982). Einband leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - The essay is an attempt to outline the relations between tangible functions and abstract concepts in a Hindu city. Object of our study is the town of Bhaktapur (formerly Bhatgaon), Nepal, a place which has not yet been greatly affected by westernization. Mediaeval Hindu cities reflected a certain view of the body politic. Since the very concept of Hindu society is organized around the principle of Hierarchy, we should expect to see this principle mirrored in the city. And since hierarchy itself is rooted in religion, and constantly renewed in ritual, religion and ritual should be reflected in the distribution of urban space. Patterns of this type are still preserved in Bhaktapur, and the authors are persuaded that spatial distribution in Hindu towns cannot be properly understood unless society and religion are taken into account. Conversely, a description of society and religion which does not take notice of localizations of castes or cults will in our opinion forgo essential evidence. The ground plan of a city like Bhaktapur is meant to visualize highly abstract notions. Thus, certain shrines or temples are not completely understood if viewed as isolated facts : often they are parts of systems, and in such cases are more than self-contained places for worship -though they of course serve that purpose. Over and beyond that, the system in itself is meant to establish very definite claims : the space enclosed by the entire group is set off from its surroundings, is sanctified.
