Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Adi Ganesh is the most sacred book of the Sikh. Literally meaning the 'First Book', it is also reverentially called the Granth Sahib and is regarded as the authoritative scriptural work. The compilation of the Adi Granth was done by the fifth Sikh guru, Arjan, in AD 1603 and contains, besides his ow…n writings, the compositions of the four predecessors, the gurus, Nanak, Angad, Amardas and Ramdas. Subsequently, in AD 1705-6, additions were made to the Adi Granth by the tenth and the last guru, Gobind Singh, who incorporated the hymns of the ninth guru, Teg Bahadur and enjoined that after him the guru. In its final form, the Adi Granth contains the writings of the Sikh gurus, and also the banis of thirty-six Hindu and Muslim saints who lived between the twelfth and the seventeenth centuries. It is needless to emphasize the importance of this great religious work which sets forth the ideal of the union of the human Soul with its Maker. This can be attained by following, scrupulously the highest ethical standards and abjuring egoism without, however, renouncing the worldly activities. Besides its great religious importance, the Adi Granth is an invaluable work from the standpoint of the historian and the linguist. It provides very useful data about the social and religious conditions of India during early and late medieval times. For those interested in the development of the northern Indian languages and dialects, the Adi Granth is a veritable storehouse of information. Though the languages of the Adi Granth is mainly Punjabi, Hindi and cognate dialects it is interspersed with Sanskrit, Marathi, Persian and Arabic words. It thus throws considerable light on the problem of the ancient Prakrts and Apabhramsa and shows how the vernacular languages of northern India evolved out of them. In this arduous task of translating this voluminous and difficult work which took him seven years to complete, Dr. Trumpp was faced with many obstacles in the absence of any grammar or dictionaries. Besides consulting the granthis he also utilized the three available commentaries for completing the translation. The present volume will be of great use to the scholars as it contains, in addition to the translation of the Adi Granth, a short preface and five valuable introductory essays, the life of Baba Nanak, translated from the Janam Sakhi, a sketch on the lives of the Sikh gurus, an outline of the Sikh religion and a dissertation on the languages of the Adi Granth and the meters used in the Granth Dr. Trumpp has also included in original, as an appendix Japji or Japu-ji - the holiest portion of the Granth.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English,SINDHI. About the Book :-The grammar, which is now offered to the learned Public for acquiring the Sindhi language with their utmost ease. The author has given rather too much that too little by endeavoring to render the grammar as complete as possible; he trusts, however, that this obj…ect may have been attained to some extent at least. A beginner will do well, after he has acquainted himself with the Sindhi system of sounds, to commence at once with the declensions and to turn bye and bye to the formation of themes after he has got a fair insight into the fabric of the language. Moreover, Sindhi is by no means an easy language; it is on the contrary beset with more intricacies and difficulties than any of its Prakrit sisters. This Sindhi grammar describes the language how it is written, in Arabic characters and very easy to understand. Also shows the corresponding Devanagari written. And by it we can begin a solid study of this language of north of India and Pakistan. About the Author:-Ernest Trumpp was a German professor of Oriental Languages at the University of Munich and a philologist. He first came to India in the 1850s and published scholarly work on the Sindhi and other western sub-continental languages. Thereafter, he was sought and sent to and the Punjab region (British India) to study and translate the Sikh scriptures by Christian missionaries aiming to understand Sikhs and thereby aid their conversion. He authored the first Sindhi grammar entitled Sindhi Alphabet and Grammar. He also published Grammar of Pashto, or language of the Afghans, compared with the Iranian and North Indian idioms.One of his notable and controversial works was based on an 8-year study of the Sikh scriptures, where he philologically analyzed and translated a significant portion of the Guru Granth Sahib into English in the 1870s. Many in the Sikh community regarded his introductory remarks to his translation as "extremely offensive".

First and only contemporary edition of the first translation of any portion of the Sikh holy texts into another language; fairly prevalent institutionally but uncommon on the market with no copy traced at auction. Trumpp's work remains the subject of controversy. A refugee from the Revolution of 1848 Trumpp was employed as assis…tant librarian at East India House. In 1854, he travelled to India at the behest of the Ecclesiastical Mission Society to work on language text books and glossaries for mission work, a rôle characterised by Mandair as "Indologist-cum-missionary" (p. 255). At the recommendation of Robert Needham Cust, a British administrator in the Punjab and devout evangelical, in 1869 Trumpp was commissioned by the India Office to produce a translation and basing himself in Lahore began work. It is unfortunate that Trumpp seems to have lacked any sensitivity to the nuances of Sikhism, having decided early that it was "a waning religion, that will soon belong to history". He took little care to understand it in its own terms, rather imposing his own "theological" structure, and despite the immediate "vociferous rejection of the work by Sikhs" his work does seem to have exercised a lasting influence over subsequent works of translation and interpretation (p.253). However, his influence has not been solely malign: the records he published of his discussions with the granthis at the Golden Temple are an invaluable resource; his decision to publish the Puratan Janam Sakhi made known the earliest recorded biography of Guru Nanak; and more generally, the publication opened up the field to debate among both Sikhs and non-Sikhs, perhaps not least inspiring Max Arthur Macauliffe's rejoinder, The Sikh Religion (1909), "one of the main objects" of which was "to endeavour to make some reparation to the Sikhs for the insults which Trumpp offered to their Gurus and their religion". The complex press work for the book was undertaken by Stephen Austin and Sons of Hertford, founded in 1768 their connection with the East India Company dated back to the printing of Persian examination papers for the East India College in 1842. Subsequently the company became one of Britain's leading printers in Oriental languages, and in 1909 took a member of the Harrison family, of Harrison & Co. the renowned government security printers, onto the board, combining the interests of the two companies. Stephen Austin continue to work in the same areas to the present day. Arvind-Pal S.
