Buddhist Transliteration Terms in Vetter's Lexicographical Study of An Shigao, with Gandhari Equivalents

<p>This dataset consists of two files; the basic one is based on Tilmann Vetter&#39;s Lexicographical Study of An Shigao&rsquo;s Translations, collecting all instances of words that are transliterations of Indic terms. The extended file adds the Gandhari equivalent - when they exist - of the Sanskrit / Pali terms, according to Baums &amp; Glass. This dataset can be used to study the correspondence between Chinese characters and the Indic terms they represent.</p> <p><strong>Bibliography</strong></p> <p>Baums, Stefan, and Andrew Glass. n.d. &lsquo;Gandhari.Org &ndash; Gāndhārī Language and Literature&rsquo;.
