A PRACTICAL GRAMMAR OF THE SANSKRIT LANGUAGE : FOR THE USE OF EARLY STUDENTS

About the Book:-The author’s pursuits were at first chiefly classical, and his attention was diverted to Sanskrit by an accidental wager that he would learn enough of the language in a few weeks to be able to review a new book upon it. This feat he accomplished. From this time his attention was principally given to Sanskrit. He published in 1848 his edition of the Samaveda; his Manual of Sanskrit, comprising a grammar and chrestomathy; in 1858 his practical Sanskrit grammar, afterwards translated into English; and in 1859 his edition of the Panchatantra, with an extensive dissertation on the fables and mythologies of primitive nations. In 1866 he published the laborious work by which he is on the whole best known, his great Sanskrit English Dictionary. In 1869 he wrote a history of German philological research, especially Oriental, during the 19th century. In 1878 his jubilee as doctor was celebrated by the publication of a volume of philological essays dedicated to him and written by the first scholars in Germany. He had designed to close his literary labours by a grammar of Vedic Sanskrit, and was actively preparing it when he was interrupted by illness, which terminated in his death at Göttingen. About the Author:-Theodor Benfey (1809-1881) was a German philologist and scholar of Sanskrit. His works, particularly his Sanskrit-English dictionary, formed a major contribution to Sanskrit studies. He showed exceptional talent for languages, and the Hebrew he studied with his father had given him a taste for philology. At the age of 16, he began studies at the University of Göttingen, where he studied Greek and Latin languages under Ludolph Dissen and Otfried Müller. In 1827, he traveled to Munich, where he studied under Friedrich Wilhelm Thiersch. He returned to Göttingen, where he defended in thesis, titled De Liguris. His defense was successful, and he was granted his Ph.D. at the age of 19. He immediately began working towards a university teaching license.
