In daily close reading sessions from April 3-6, 2019, our team picks up where we had left off in October 2018: Our expert advisor was Florinda de Simini, Indologist from L’Orientale (Naples University), who in December 2018 started with her project on “The Shivadharma and the Making of Regional Religious Traditions in Premodern South Asia”, funded by a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), returns to Berlin to dive back into the Mahābhārata predecessors of the Kalīla and Dimna tales. Special guest is Kenji Takahashi from the University of Kyoto.

This close reading workshop is to be continued!
