Synopsis

Works Ed. By E.R. Rost by Horace Hayman Wilson is a landmark 19th-century scholarly collection that gathers analytical, critical, and philological essays on subjects connected with Sanskrit literature. The work presents Wilson’s extensive investigations into Sanskrit grammar, lexicography, and philosophy, along with detailed examinations of Hindu law, the Bhagavad Gita, and other major texts, all edited posthumously by Reinhold Rost. Comprising the contents of three volumes published in 1865, the collection blends textual criticism with historical and linguistic commentary, tracing the development of Sanskrit grammar, the evolution of the Vedic and Hindu literatures, and the interactions between Indian philology and European scholarship. Rost’s editorial apparatus situates Wilson among the foremost Sanskritists of his era, illustrating the breadth of his inquiry—from Mitakshara and Dattaka to Vedanta and Samkhya—while providing readers with a lucid guide to the most influential Sanskrit sources and their modern reception. The volumes are a cornerstone for Indology and the history of Sanskrit studies in the English-speaking world.
