...and I've stumbled across so many great quotes now which could just as well have been written today and not in, like, 1970. I really feel the urge to start sharing some of them, because that groundhog-day experience I keep having is as entertaining as it is lowkey frustrating lol.😅 Also saw it's topical for some people so maybe it'd even be useful?!
One of my #DH students wants to do a project on word separation in #Sanskrit manuscripts. The project is very interesting, but unfortunately I have no experience with any Indian languages/scripts. Can anyone recommend
a) a database of transcribed (not transliterated) Sanskrit texts;

I've read enough of The Ends of Knowledge (ed @SethRudy & Rachael Scarborough King) to recommend it to people in #DH, literary studies, and #18thC.
