religions, was thereupon found to have been a fraud. Actually it was composed by a Christian – the text shows him to have been a French Jesuit missionary, who did not necessarily know Sanskrit – in order to convert Hindus to Christianity. The controversy surrounding the spurious Veda continues, involving a number of scholars and missionaries particularly in the question of whether or not the Veda was composed in Sanskrit or French. In tracing the history of the Ezourvedam Ludo Rocher adds a number of points, one being that the text was definitely first written in French with a view to a later Sanskrit translation or, more likely, to one of several modern Indian vernaculars. This edition is based on the manuscripts of Voltaire and Anquetil du Perron, and, especially, on a third manuscript preserved at the Bibliotheque National in Paris, wrongly catalogued there as Yajurveda. This edition is therefor markedly different from the 1778 edition by the Baron de Sainte-Croix. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/upssa.1.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027233820.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027233820.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/upssa.1.pb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/upssa.1.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/upssa.1.pb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/upssa.1.pb.png 10 01 JB code upssa.1.01pre v 1 Miscellaneous 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Preface</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.02int 1 1 Section header 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Introduction</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.03his 3 1 Chapter 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Historical Survey of Ezourvedam Interpretation</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.04nat 3 1 Subsection 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Nature and Purpose of the Text</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.05the 28 1 Subsection 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The Author of the Ezourvedam</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Author of the Ezourvedam</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.06new 53 1 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">New Contributions to Ezourvedam Interpretation</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.07the 53 1 Subsection 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The French Original</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">French Original</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.08the 57 1 Subsection 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The Author of the French Ezourvedam</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Author of the French Ezourvedam</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.09the 61 1 Subsection 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The Title: Ezourvedam</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Title: Ezourvedam</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.10ane 68 1 Subsection 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">An Evaluation</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>An </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Evaluation</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.11the 74 1 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The Ezourvedam Manuscripts</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Ezourvedam Manuscripts</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.12the 74 1 Subsection 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The Pondicherry Manuscripts</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Pondicherry Manuscripts</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.13vol 77 1 Subsection 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Voltaire&#39;s and Anquetil&#39;s Manuscripts</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.14ane 85 1 Subsection 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A New Manuscript: BN Fonds Fran&#231;ais 19117</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">New Manuscript: BN Fonds Fran&#231;ais 19117</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.15the 87 1 Subsection 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The Edition</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Edition</TitleWithoutPrefix> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.16ref 90 1 Subsection 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">References</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.17tex 105 1 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Text</TitleText> 10 01 JB code upssa.1.18ind 207 1 Miscellaneous 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Index of Indian Terms in the Ezourvedam</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 19841231 1984 John Benjamins 02 US CA MX 01 240 mm 02 160 mm 08 400 gr 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 102.00 USD
