Bibliographical Notes
By Unexhibited
Summary
The final section, 'Bibliographical Notes,' lists recent publications and resources of interest to historians and orientalists. The notes are organised by subject—Indian history, archaeology, religion, literature and art—and include books, monographs, excavation reports and critical editions. For each entry, the editor provides the title, author, place of publication and year, sometimes with a brief description. Many entries highlight works published outside India that may not be easily available to Indian scholars. Examples include new editions of Gupta gold coin catalogues, studies of tribal myths from Orissa and translations of Pali texts. The section also updates readers on archaeological discoveries, summarising key points from excavation reports. It draws attention to contributions like Verrier Elwin’s Tribal Myths of Orissa, Herman Goetz’s study of temple architecture and other works on regional history. References to catalogues of inscriptions, temple architecture and art exhibitions are included. By compiling these references, the journal provides a valuable resource for researchers who need to track new literature across multiple disciplines. The reviewer points out that the notes serve as both a bibliographic record and a guide for future research. They allow scholars to quickly identify relevant publications and to remain up-to-date with advancements in their fields. While brief, the notes offer enough information to guide further investigation.
Conclusion
'Bibliographical Notes' serves as a curated list of recent publications and discoveries in Oriental studies, ranging from archaeology and history to literature. By providing bibliographic details and succinct remarks on new works, the section helps researchers navigate an expanding body of scholarship. It emphasises the importance of keeping abreast of new resources and encourages readers to explore fields beyond their specialisations.
