The Rigveda: 3-Volume Set: South Asia Research
Stephanie W. Jamison, Joel P. Breretonen Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2017
of the long tradition of Indo-Iranian oral-formulaic praise poetry and the first monument of specifically Indian religiosity and literature, the Rigveda is crucial to the understanding both of Indo-European and Indo-Iranian cultural prehistory and of later Indian religious history and high
literature. This new translation represents the first complete scholarly translation into English in over a century and utilizes the results of the intense research of the last century on the language and the ritual system of the text. The focus of this translation is on the poetic techniques and structures
utilized by the bards and on the ways that the poetry intersects with and dynamically expresses the ritual underpinnings of the text.

Descriere
The
Rigveda
is
the
oldest
Sanskrit
text,
consisting
of
over
one
thousand
hymns
dedicated
to
various
divinities
of
the
Vedic
tradition.
Orally
composed
and
orally
transmitted
for
several
millennia,
the
hymns
display
remarkable
poetic
complexity
and
religious
sophistication.
As
the
culmination
of
the
long
tradition
of
Indo-Iranian
oral-formulaic
praise
poetry
and
the
first
monument
of
specifically
Indian
religiosity
and
literature,
the
Rigveda
iscrucial
to
the
understanding
both
of
Indo-European
and
Indo-Iranian
cultural
prehistory
and
of
later
Indian
religious
history
and
high
literature.This
new
translation
represents
the
first
complete
scholarly
translation
into
English
in
over
a
century
and
utilizes
the
results
of
the
intense
research
of
the
last
century
on
the
language
and
the
ritual
system
of
the
text.
The
focus
of
this
translation
is
on
the
poetic
techniques
and
structures
utilized
by
the
bards
and
on
the
ways
that
the
poetry
intersects
with
and
dynamically
expresses
the
ritual
underpinnings
of
the
text.
