Information About

Paul Thieme




Thieme is considered one of the "last great Indologists", advancing all aspects of the philology of Sanskrit , with expertise reaching from the Vedas to the Epics and the Upanishad s, Sankrit poetry and traditional Hindu science ( Shastra ), and Indian grammarians ( Panini and his commentators). Thieme was also a Comparative Linguist , studying Iranian and Indo-European languages in general. Thieme was fluent in Sanskrit, and therefore respected among traditional Indian scholars, holding the inauguration speech at the first World Sanskrit Conference in Delhi in 197x .
