Softcover. Zustand: Very Good+. 1993 Indian reprint, of a title first published in the US in 1992. xxiv, [2], 503, [3 (blank)] pages. Page dimensions: 216 x 138mm. Illustrated. "'The Classical Tibetan Language' is the first comprehensive description of the Tibetan langauge and is distinctive in that it treats the classical Tibetan language on its own terms rather than by means of descriptive categories appropriate to other languages, as has traditionally been the case. Beyer presents the language as a medium of literary expression with great range, power, subtlety, and humor, not as an abstract object." - Matthew Kapstein, quoted in blurb on rear cover.
