Edited by Konrad Meisig
Originally founded by Ulrich Schneider as Freiburger Beiträge zur Indologie, they have been continued from vol. 28 on as Beiträge zur Indologie (BzI), edited by Konrad Meisig. The scope of the series is conceivably wide - from the ancient world to present times, from Sri Lanka to China. Among others, the following areas are represented: religious history of early Hīnayāna Buddhism, of Mahāyāna Buddhism and of Tocharian Buddhism, of epic-Sanskrit Purāṇa literature, of Mahābhārata, theology of Viṣṇuism, classic Sanskrit and modern realistic Hindi and Singhalese literature as well as ethnology and linguistics of the Hindu Kush.
