ISBN 978-1783080670 This volume brings together sixteen articles on the religions, literatures and histories of South and Central Asia in tribute to Patrick Olivelle, one of North America's leading Sanskritists and historians of early India. This volume brings together sixteen articles on the religions, literatures and histories of South and Central Asia in tribute to Patrick Olivelle, one of North Americas leading Sanskritists and historians of early India. An exceptionally prolific scholar, Olivelles best-known works include Manu's Code of Law (2005), The Early Upanishads (1998) and The Asrama System (1993). Over the last four decades, the focus of his scholarship has been on the ascetic and legal traditions of India, but his work as both a researcher and a teacher extends beyond early Indian religion and literature. Religion and Identity and South Asia and Beyond is a testament to that influence. TABLE OF CONTENTS STEVEN E.
