Hodivala Volume II","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the field of medieval Indian historiography, an eight-volume magnum opus,\u003cem\u003e History of India as Told by Its Own Historians\u003c\/em\u003e, by Sir Henry Myers Elliot (1808-53) and the editor-compiler of his posthumous papers, John Dowson (1820-81), was published from London between 1867 and 1877. These landmark volumes continue to retain their popularity even nearly hundred and fifty years later, and scholars still learn from and conduct their research on the basis of this work. However, an enterprise of this scale and magnitude was bound to suffer from some serious shortcomings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn eminent Indian scholar, S.H. Hodivala undertook the daunting task of annotating Elliot and Dowson’s volumes and worked through all the new material, selecting or criticizing and adding his own suggestions where previous comments did not exist or appeared unsuitable. The first volume of Hodivala’s annotated Studies, was published in 1939, while the second was published posthumously in 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the years, while the work of Elliot and Dowson has seen many reprints, and is even available online now, Hodivala’s volumes have receded into obscurity. A new edition is presented here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHodivala also published critical commentaries on 238 of about 2000 entries included in another very famous work, Hobson-Jobson (London, 1886) by Sir Henry Yule (1820-89) and Arthur Coke Burnell (1840-82). These have also been included in the present edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese volumes are thus aimed at serving as an indispensable compendium of both, Elliot and Dowson’s, and for Yule and Burnell’s excellent contributions of colonial scholarship. At the same time these would also serve as a guide for comparative studies and critical appreciation of historical texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238123098456,"sku":"9781138353565","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138353565_dd882f3d-e9a1-4dc2-bf20-1c43445a1a0c.jpg?v=1769563823","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/studies-in-indo-muslim-history-by-s-h-hodivala-volume-ii","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
