Abstract

This book dealing with the marks and signs used mainly for correction and abbreviation is based on an exceptionally vast material. Consequently, it was necessary to select manuscripts and inscriptions from the ocean of the Indian epigraphic and literary traditions. As this PhD thesis submitted to the University of Halle grew out of the research project INDOSKRIPT directed by Harry Falk, Berlin, and Walter Slaje, Halle, 1 the obvious basis was the material collected for this project. In order to present a large variety of scripts used over a wide geographical area and during a lengthy period of time, only a random selection of inscriptions and manuscripts could be examined when building up INDOSKRIPT. One of the more practical reasons for selecting material was of course the accessibility of facsimiles. The scripts were broadly divided into fifteen groups by the author (p. 7 foll.) ranging from Nepal (Newārī) and Kashmir in the north (Śāradā) to Ceylon in the South including also Burma in the east. Older scripts are named simply Brāhmī, and, of course, Grantha is included. The time frame (see table 5, p. 37) stretches from approximately 500 ad (Brāhmī inscription) into the early 20th century (Śāradā
