Mastery, at a philological level, of Sanskrit.

Alternating with LGLOR2672A, this course deals with the commented reading of texts in classical Sanskrit.

At the end of this course, the student will be capable, thanks to the acquisition of a philological mastery of Sanskrit, to identify, read, translate and comment on any text written in this language.

Oral exam on the basis of pre-prepared text. 

The course is given during the whole year.

Students receive a copy of the texts studied or the manuals referred to, and the active participation of the students at the course is desirable, based of course on the preparation beforehand.

The course consists of a consolidation of the knowledge and philology of  Sanskrit  language and philology.

The commented readings deals with poetical texts (kâvya) or technical texts (câstra) in classical Sanskrit, with special attention given to, on the one hand, philological questions of edition and the critical apparatus, and on the other hand, the translation of  native glosses.
