RARE monograph on the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today's Indo-Aryan languages, with emphasis on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Based on a wealth of new data gathered from original poetic works in Apabhramsa (by Svayaṃbhadeva, Puspadanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.), it also contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra), with all the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhraṃśa examples consistently parsed and translated. 225x155mm. XXIV+267 pages. Hardcover. Front cover upper corner bumped. Cover corners and front cover bottom edge slightly rubbed. Rear cover bottom edge worn. Spine edges slightly bumped. Previous owner's small stamp on whitepage upper corner. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare study of Apabhramsa, of particular interest to scholars and students of Indo-Aryan and general historical linguistics, especially those interested in the issues of morphosyntactic change and typology in their sociohistorical setting, is in good condition.

199 pages. Signed by all three authors upon title page. An exciting account of two women who were in India the day it gained its independence from Great Britain. Over ten million people were displaced as the result of India being divided into two nations, New India and Pakistan. Ada and Ida saw the results of the fighitng and riots that followed and did what they could to follow the example of the Good Samaritan. They "anointed and bound up wounds and offered assistance." The "twins" as they are known, worked in refugee camps. They distributed tons of clothing and food. They rode into the Himalayan Mountains, where no white woman, much less blond identical twins, had ever been seen, to deliver clothing to people who had their homes and possessions burned or stolen by raiders. For three years, Ada and Ida truly gave "a little bit of love." This story will be of special interest to the thousands of women and men who, during the 1940s, donated clothing and money and worked with their church sewing circles and the packing centers to prepare and ship the items Ada and Ida were privileged to hand out to the refugees. Author has always felt close to "the twins" because on the day she was born, Ada entered her life as nurse for her and her mother. Former owner's name atop title page. Text insterspersed with dozens of interesting black and white photos. Moderate wear overall. Illustrated covers remain bright and glossy. Book

In 8, pp. XXIV + 1216 + IX + (3). Firma d possesso al frontespizio di Padre Dominic Daunderer. Restauro al verso del frontespizio. Testo su due colonne. Legatura in mz. pl. coeva. Edizione originale di questo dizionario indostano-inglese: the dictionary 'was replete with 'illustrations from Hindustani literature and folklore' but also paid special attention to women and women's language. Fallon was a PhD from Halle University and a product of a German school of folklore. His dictionary differentiated between elite and rustic speech but also added a third, or female dialect... Fallon was a lesser known member of the generation of neo-orientalists that opened up European knowledge of the 'little Indias'...' (Bayly, Empire & information. Intelligence gathering and social communication in India , 1780-1870'). All'interno del dizionario e' conservata una lettera manoscritta autografa su carta intestata 'Lackatoorah Tea Estate Sylhet' indirizzata a Padre Dominic Daunderer, padre missionario nella regione indiana dell'Assam per sei anni. La lettera, in inglese, e' scritta da un certo 'D. Campbell' che saluta padre Dominic augurandogli buona fortuna e felicita' e dicendogli di essere in procinto di lasciare l'India cosi' come lo stesso padre Dominic al quale l'autore della lettera augura buon viaggio dicendogli inoltre che se capitera' a Roma andra' sicuramente a salutarlo.
