Beskrivning
Authored by one of the leading scholars of German Indology, “Fortified Cities in Ancient India” offers a comparative exploration of the development of towns and cities in ancient India. Based on in-depth textual and archeological research, Professor Dieter Schlingloff’s work presents for the first time the striking outcomes of intertwining data garnered from a wide range of sources. This volume scrutinizes much of the established knowledge on urban fortifications in South Asia, advancing new conceptions based on an authoritative, far-reaching study.

Recensioner i media

The author’s analysis of individual urban dwellings at Bhita, inlight of the Ajanta paintings, is particularly illuminating and provides invaluable context for Kauṭilya’s instructions on the construction of the king’s residence as well as more humble homes. ... Throughout this volume, Schlingloff makes many further contributions to our understanding of theArthaśāstra'. —Mark McClish, Journal of the American Oriental Society 136.1 (2016)
