Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The Brahmi writing system: background. 3. Framework for a theory of the Indic Brahmi writing system. 4. Some notes for a theory of the Brahmi writing system. 5. Final thoughts. Bibliography. Index. This book develops a consilience of research and thinking in epigraphy, archaeology and linguistics on the Indic Brahmi writing system. Its objective is to identify the problems that need to be tackled by anybody who tries to develop a theory of the Brahmi writing system. As for the currently scientifically supported hypothesis that Brahmi originated in Tamil Nadu during the sixth century BCE or earlier, Patel opts for the need to keep this as an idea for the working basket awaiting new archaeological research in the sixth-century Magadha region. The book deliberates upon how ancient Tamil Nadu was receptive to literacy. The Brahmanical fascination for orality blocked literacy in Vedic India. The brahmanas from north India entered Tamil Nadu only during the third century BCE and lived away from residential areas. Tamil Nadu at the time had no caste system. This is reflected in the Sangam literature, which followed historically the grammarian Tolkappiyar. The conditions in Sri Lanka before and after the arrival of Buddhism are noted in relation to the rise of literacy. The relationship between Brahmi in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu is highlighted for the purpose of further research. Also noted is the need for research on the differences between Dravidian and northern scripts in the way the aksharas are formed in graphic representation.…

This volume presents the advances in the ongoing research on Brahmi and its daughter scripts used in the present day India. It brings together two main trends evolutionary historical development and linguistic grounding. This is the first attempt to cross fertilize Palaeography and linguistics. The Palaeographic papers cover the main issues in the decipherment of the Indus Valley Script the origin and evolution of Brahmi and the Palaeographic methods and considerations employed in the decipherment of scripts. These present different trends and arguments of writers on the origin of Brahmi as having been around the Mauryan era or at a much earlier stage relate to broader historical and cultural issues. They also deal with the need for the use of established and more current palaeographic techniques in classifying regional and stylistic variants of scripts. The linguistic papers in the volume explore the issues of the roots of the orthographic unit aksara in Vedic phonetics its claim as a minimal articulatory phonetic unit and the properties of Brahmi as a generative writing system. The philosophical and linguistic underpinning of the concept aksara is shown to thread its use in the varieties of treatises from the Vedas to phonetic texts. The papers help in providing linguistic evidence for historical accounts of the script as an invention at a given time or as an evolving evolutionary system apart from relating the development of the script to the linguistic history of India. Palaeographers epigraphists linguists and computational scientists will find this volume interesting and useful. 266 pp.…
