"The Watson collection of Indian art in the Elvehjem Museum of Art consists of miniature paintings that come from the foothills of the Himalayas to the tip of the Indian peninsula, including Orissa on the east coast and Gujarat on the west coast. It ranges in time from the thirteenth century to the nineteenth century. Thus it includes over half of the medieval period (ca. 750-1750) of Indic history. Various schools, each with its own distinctive style, developed within this time and space and can be classified roughly as traditional, Sultanate, Mughal, Rajput, Deccani, or South Indian. Collected by Jane Werner Watson, a connoisseur of Indian paintings, and her late husband Earnest C. Watson, this collection provides us with valuable examples of the South Asian manuscript illuminations and miniature paintings of seven centuries (1200-1900). This period in the history of South Asian painting is significant mainly because it witnessed the germination and blossoming of the world-renowned Mughal and Rajput styles." (p. 1).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Anyone who wants to know what Buddhism in the Kathmandu Valley is all about and wants to hear it from the mouth of a Newar Buddhist will need to read this book. Juhee Gubhani's study of the Mahayana-Vajrayana and, one should add, Theravada Buddhism of the Newars is a monumental achievement and a new milestone in the study of South Asian religions. It is the most detailed, comprehensive, and important work on Newar Buddhism since the publication of David N. Gellner's foundational Monk, Householder, and Tantric Priest more than three decades ago, and it is safe to say that Juhee Gubhani's book will become and remain a reference for our field for the next foreseeable future.…
