What is The Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit about?

Ideal for courses in beginning Sanskrit or self-study, this textbook employs modern, tried-and-tested pedagogical methods and tools, but requires no prior knowledge of ancient languages or linguistics. Devanāgarī script is introduced over several chapters and used in parallel with transliteration for several chapters more, allowing students to progress in learning Sanskrit itself while still mastering the script. Students are exposed to annotated original texts in addition to practice sentences very early on, and structures and systems underlying the wealth of forms are clearly explained to facilitate memorisation. All grammar is covered in detail, with chapters dedicated to compounding and nominal derivation, and sections explaining relevant historical phenomena. Online resources include:· Flash cards custom-made for the vocabulary and forms in the book· Video tutorials for all chapters· Up-to-date links to writing, declension and conjugation exercises and online dictionaries, grammars and textual databasesA. M. Ruppel was the Townsend Senior Lecturer in the Greek, Latin and Sanskrit Languages at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) for nine years, and currently is Head of Sanskrit at
