Early Buddhist Artisans and Their Architectural Vocabulary

Autor S Settar
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 noi 2023
The early Buddhist architectural vocabulary, being the first of its kind, maintained its monopoly for about half a millennium, beginning from the third century BCE. To begin with, it was oral, not written. The Jain, Hindu, and other Indian sectarian builders later developed their vocabulary on this foundation, though not identically.
This book attempts to understand this vocabulary and the artisans who first made use of it.
