The seven contributions in volume 19 (2010) treat different
aspects of South Asian culture. Michael Knüppel (Göttingen) brings to our attention the bequest of the German Tocharologist and Indologist Emil Sieg (1866-1951) now preserved in the Niedersächsische Staats- und
Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen. Kurt Tropper (Vienna) and Gudrun Melzer (Leipzig) discuss a 13th-century Tibetan inscription in Alchi (Ladakh) and its parallels in Tibetan and Sanskrit literature. Małgorzata Wielińska-Soltwedel (Munich) deals with the Bengali Tradition of Pānini’s Grammar between the 7th and the 15th
century. The remaining four articles are concerned with art-historical subjects, covering a wide range of Buddhist, Jaina and Hindu iconography. The topic of Claudine Bautze-Picron (Berlin/Paris/Brussels) are the
figures of emaciated demonic characters in Buddhist art, relating them to similar representations in Brahmanical art. Klaus Bruhn (Berlin) gives an overview of early Jaina iconography mainly from Mathura, but he
also includes Chausa (pre-Gupta), Tamil Nadu, Aihole and Badami (Karnataka). Gerd J.R. Mevissen (Berlin) presents a corpus of more than 100 Visnu images from Bengal accompanied by miniature figures of the ten
incarnations (dasāvatāras), with an appendix referring to more
than 500 related images from other Indian regions. Ibrahim Shah (Mansehra) deals with some images of the sun-god Sūrya from the Northwest of the Indian subcontinent.
