Studies in the Atharvaveda

This volume, the first of its kind in nearly two decades, comprises 16 articles on the Atharvaveda, India's second oldest text, by the world's leading scholars in the field, from India, Japan, Europe and North America. Linguistic, ritual, mythological, historical and hermeneutical aspects of the Atharvaveda are studied alongside its transmission, influence and reception, from a broad variety of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives.
