Sanskrit-English Dictionary: Etymologically and Philologically Arranged with Special Reference to Cognate


Sanskrit-English Dictionary: Etymologically and Philologically Arranged with Special Reference to Cognate

Indo-European Languages
By- Sir Monier Monier-Williams

New Edition, Greatly enlarged and improved with the Collaboration of E. Leumann, C. Cappeller and Other Scholars

This classic volume is a reprint of the expanded Clarendon Press edition of 1899 completed by Monier-Williams just before his death.

In Monier-William’s own words: ‘It has consisted in adding about 60,000 Sanskrit words to about 120,000—the probable amount of the first edition; in fitting the new matter into the old according to the same etymological plan; in their justification by the insertion of reference to the literature and to authorities; in the accentuation of nearly every Sanskrit word to which accents are usually applied; in the revision and re-revision of printed proofs; until at length, after the lapse of more than a quarter of a century since the publication of the original volume, a virtually new Dictionary is sent forth.’

For students of Sanskrit, Vedic History and Comparative Philology this is the most comprehensive and useful Sanskrit-English Dictionary ever compiled.

Sir Monier Monier-Williams was born at Bomaby in 1819. He was appointed the Professor of Sanskrit, Bengali and Telugu in 1844 at the East India Company’s College at Haileybury. In 1860, he was elected the Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford, a post which he held till his death on 11 April 1899.
