| description | The present article deals with liminal material belonging to both the realm of manuscript as well as print culture. Early Sanskrit printed books pro-vide scarce and ambiguous bibliographical information. The Sanskrit terminol-ogy used in their imprints is often obscure at best, if not unintelligible without having previous knowledge of the roles of the persons involved in the printing process. Conversely, a correct understanding of the Sanskrit terminology for print is necessary to assess the roles of the people involved in the printing activ-ity. This article examines the Sanskrit terminology for print occurring in the earliest Sanskrit incunabula and lithographs, in order to shed some light on the publication process of early Sanskrit prints. |
