Taittirīya Prātiśākhya link target

[funderburkjim]

Looked at the archive.org searches at https://archive.org/search.php?query=taittiriya%20pratisakhya mentioned at this link.

Examined the particular version https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.61160 which has metadata The Taittiriya Pratisakhya, Whitney, 1868.

This looks very good as a link target for the first 159 pages, but something odd happens at that point See https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.61160/page/n161/mode/2up. This shows pages 159 and 161 -- page 160 is not found. And similarly to the end of the document.

@Andhrabharati -- Is there a version on archive.org of Whitney's book that is complete?

[Andhrabharati]

Let me check.

Meanwhile, you might be willing to use the text version instead, which is avl. at https://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/texte/etcs/ind/aind/ved/yvs/tp/tp.htm

Another version is there at archive.org, with the same issue. Both these are the reprints by MLBD, India in 1973.

However, I do have copies of the original edition in my collection,

1. Harvard Library copy, cover to cover, reprint as a sep. book from JAOS pages (low resolution, but human eye can read)

and

2. the jstor copy without the cover page, but with jstor CR page. (good print, as it is directly taken from the JAOS issue) .

If you've jstor membership or have any contacts there, you may get the good copy from here.

Can @gasyoun see the links https://mm.yes66.ru/60 and https://t9.wakk.ru/162 to find if they have the copy?

I am getting "access denied" message for these two links.

[Andhrabharati]

I have another proposal, for you to think of.

If CSL can sponser, I can buy the physical copy from MLBD and scan it for you use. https://www.mlbd.in/products/taittiriya-pratisakhya-william-dwight-whitney-9788120829879-8120829875

As many MLBD print scans (of various books) are floating on the net, I foresee no issue in using the same, even without taking the approval from MLBD.

[Andhrabharati]

@funderburkjim, I was just about to give another proposal, to share the Harvard copy with you, with a condition that you "respond" to my posts/comments, whether in agreement or with disagreement.

Otherwise I was just thinking to stop looking at the Cologne texts (for CSL, of course one can always do so for other private purposes), assuming that you're not interested in my works (one way of mentioning the same indirectly is being 'silent' instead of explicitly saying so).

Now that I see you acting on the "f2 and M2" issue, I understand that you are looking at my posts and handling them rather slowly (though not at the pace I presumed), but not ignoring them altogether.

Do you want me to push the Harvard lib. scan of the Taittirīya Prātiśākhya to Github repo? [I cannot share the jstor copy, with a moral binding. Of course, if the jstor CR page is removed, one cannot identify whether it is the jstor copy or the MLBD copy (without front pages), as they are identical in all aspects.]

Posting the images from Harvard copy and jstor copy here, for your checking-

Harvard p.1.pdf Harvard p.160.pdf

jstor p.1.pdf jstor p.160.pdf

One can clearly see the opening matter difference in p.1 of the book print (Harvard copy) from the article print (jstor copy).

@funderburkjim

Here is the link for the book version, as the Harvard lib. copy (from As. Society Lib., Calcutta)-

Though the beginning pages are somewhat bad in quality, the latter pages are good enough.
