English summary: The historical holdings preserved in the Phonogrammarchiv also include recordings of Indian origin, among them two collections published in the present edition: The collection compiled by the meteorologist Felix Exner was established 1904/05; its total of 68 recordings contain primarily recitation samples of Sanskrit and Vedic literature, but additionally a few works in Malayalam, Telugu, Marathi, Hindustani, and Tamil. The recordings were used for further research by the musicologist Erwin Felber and the Indo-Iranicist Bernhard Geiger. In 1918, eight recordings were made in the Phonogrammarchiv; they feature Har Dayal and Umrao Singh Sher-Gil, two outstanding personalities in the anti-colonial movement of India, reciting literature in Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Braj Bhasha and Awadhi. With the present edition, the results of the Phonogrammarchiv's early phonographic field research in India are for the first time made publicly audible. The enclosed documentation provides information about the time, the places and the institutions of their origin, about the texts chosen, as well as about the Indian reciters and other persons involved. German description: Zu den historischen Bestanden des Phonogrammarchivs zahlen auch Aufnahmen indischer Herkunft, von denen in der vorliegenden Edition zwei Sammlungen veroffentlicht werden: Die Sammlung des Meteorologen Felix Exner verdankt sich einer Forschungsreise durch Indien 1904/05. Sie umfasst 68 Aufnahmen von Rezitationen, zumeist von Werken der vedischen und der Sanskrit-Literatur, zudem aber auch von Werken in Malayalam, Telugu, Marathi, Hindustani und Tamilisch. Die Aufnahmen wurden zu ihrer Zeit durch den Musikwissenschaftler Erwin Felber und den Indo-Iranisten Bernhard Geiger schriftlich dokumentiert und bearbeitet. Acht weitere Phonogramme wurden 1918 im Phonogrammarchiv in Wien aufgenommen. Auf ihnen sind Textproben literarischer Werke in Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Braj Bhasha und Awadhi zu horen, rezitiert von Har Dayal und Umrao Singh Sher-Gil, zwei bekannten Aktivisten der Antikolonialbewegung Indiens. Mit dieser Edition werden die historischen indischen Aufnahmen des Phonogrammarchivs erstmals veroffentlicht und damit horbar gemacht. Die beigefugte Dokumentation bietet weitere Informationen zu Zeit und Ort der Aufnahmen, zu den Texten und ihrer Auswahl, zu den indischen Sprechern sowie anderen beteiligten Personen und Institutionen.
