Recenzii

"This is a major book … anyone interested in the comparative study of education is bound to consult this volume for the Indian part of it. Indologists may have encountered some isolated data on education in their own work, but having the whole range of materials put together and discussed between two covers is a boon." – Ludo Rocher, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2004
