The Encyclopedias of India

0.0

This book fills a gap: India has had plenty of encyclopedias, but no 'encyclopedia of encyclopedias.' The eminent bibliographer, Henry Scholberg, has after all produced it. Bibliophile that he is, in the very classical tradition, he has found out, what we should ourselves have done, that India was producing encyclopedias in Sanskrit seven or eight centuries before Diderot did his Encyclopedie in France or the publication of Britannica in Britain!
