Author Description

<p><i>Ramayana Id Est Carmen Epicum De Ramae Rebus Gestis</i> presents the ancient Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana, in Latin. This edition, likely from 1829, offers a unique perspective on the classic tale of Rama's adventures and heroic deeds. Translated by August Wilhelm von Schlegel, this work provides scholars and enthusiasts access to the Ramayana through the lens of classical Latin literature. The epic poem, originally composed by Valmiki, remains a cornerstone of Hindu scripture and Indian culture, narrating the triumph of good over evil and exploring themes of dharma, devotion, and family. This Latin translation allows for a broader appreciation of the Ramayana's enduring narrative power and its significant place in world literature.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
