New Catalogus Catalogorum: An overview

Manuscriptology and Digital Humanities

Prof. Siniruddha Dash, University of Madras (Indien), Grammar, Linguistics, Literature and Manuscriptology

This talk will provide an overview of the New Catalogus Catalogorum (NCC) which is an updated and expanded version of Catalogus Catalogorum (CC) of Theodor Aufrecht (1891). The scope of NCC is widened by adding other ancient Classical Languages like Pāli, Prākṛta and Apabhraṁśas along with Sanskrit. The NCC, completed in 42 volumes (of which 39 volumes are published so far), covers more than 1000 catalogues (compared to 56 by Aufrecht) and several other lists including journals and historical studies on diverse subjects.

Besides presenting an overview of the NCC, it will also focus on the methodology, resource materials, the commentary tradition, classification of the subjects, chronology of the authors and their works, etc. that are significant for providing a more comprehensive picture of Ancient Indian knowledge systems.

Prof. Dr. Siniruddha Dash is formerly Professor and Head of the Dept. of Sanskrit, University of Madras and Director & Chief Editor of the New Catalogus Catalogorum (2000-2014). At present, he is President of the Panini Educational and Cultural Trust, Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Alle Termine der Veranstaltung 'Manuscriptology and Digital Humanities':

The methods and techniques of Digital Humanities are increasingly reshaping the manner in which established areas of research are carried out. Use of digital applications and electronic equipments is ushering a new era for the study of manuscripts as well. These rapid advancements necessitate a careful and thorough assessment of the desirability, as also possible concerns, of employing them and call for a judicious integration of the new techniques in the workflow of the study and editing of manuscripts. The main aim of this research group is to review and revise the study of South and Southeast Asian manuscripts in the context of the fast evolving discipline of Digital Humanities.
