In what is now northern Pakistan, the civilizations in the region called Gandhara became increasingly important centers for the development of Buddhism, reaching their apex under King Kaniska of the Kusanas in the second century CE. Gandhara has long been known for its Greek-Indian synthesis in architecture and statuary, but until about twenty years ago, almost nothing was known about its literature. The insights provided by manuscripts unearthed over the last few decades show that Gandhara was indeed a vital link in the early development of Buddhism, instrumental in both the transmission of Buddhism to China and the rise of the Mahayana tradition. \u003ci\u003eThe Buddhist Literature of Ancient Gandhara\u003c\/i\u003e surveys what we know about Gandhara and its Buddhism, and it also provides translations of a dozen different short texts, from similes and stories to treatises on time and reality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49536557777169,"sku":"GOR013143560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815358427409,"sku":"CIN1614291683G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1614291683.jpg?v=1750927363"},{"product_id":"indian-epigraphy-book-richard-salomon-9780195099843","title":"Indian Epigraphy","description":"Salomon surveys all the inscriptional material - documents written in ink on various surfaces, or carved into stone and metal, as well as seals - in the Indo-Aryan languages.

The fragmentary birch bark scrolls, which were found inside one of a set of inscribed clay pots, are written in the Gandhari Prakrit language and in Kharosthi script. Dating from around the beginning of the Christian era, the scrolls are probably the oldest Buddhist manuscripts ever discovered.  The manuscripts and pots come from a region known in ancient times as Gandhara, corresponding to modern northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan. At the peak of its influence, Gandhara was the capital of a series of wealthy and powerful dynasties and became one of the world’s most important centers of Buddhism and the gateway through which Buddhism was transmitted from India to China and other parts of Asia. Gandhara was also a principal point of contact between India and the Western world. Despite abundant archeological evidence of Gandhara’s thriving culture, until now there has been virtually no documentary evidence of its literary and religious canon.  This volume introduces a groundbreaking project to decipher and interpret the Gandhäran texts. It provides a detailed description of the manuscripts and a survey of their contents, along with a preliminary evaluation of their significance. Also included are representative samples of texts and translations.  This discovery sheds new light on the regional character of early Indian Buddhist traditions, the process of the formation of standardized written canons, and the transmission of Buddhism into central and east Asia. Ancient Buddhist Scrolls from Gandhara will appeal to a broad audience with interests in Buddhism, comparative religion, and Asian languages.

Hierbei entwirft er ein Modell, das eine Vielzahl\nvon Strategien, die zur Bildung einer strategischen Allianz relevant sind,\nprinzipiell ordnet und in eine dreischichtige Struktur überführt. Aus dem\nSchema dieses Modells leitet er fünf Hypothesen ab, welche zum einen die\nSchlüssigkeit des Modells und zum anderen die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeiten resp.Voraussetzungen für das Gelingen strategischer Allianzen zeigen sollen. Damit kann über statistische Testverfahren wie c²-Unabhängigkeitstest, t-Test, lineare Mehrfachregression und ANOVA letztendlich untermauert werden, dass die dreischichtige Struktur eine stimmige inhärente Logik aufweist und für die praktische Anwendung in potenziellen strategischen Allianzen geeignet ist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52424645411089,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52424645968145,"sku":"NLS9783658032906","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783658032906.jpg?v=1759152533"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-richard-salomon.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
