Reviews
"This book is a clear, detailed, and technically accomplished contribution to an important area of study: the history of Indian Buddhist iconography. It makes a contribution of great value to the vitally important, and insufficiently analyzed, question of how Buddhist iconography developed in the Deccan. The author offers an analysis of the problems inherent in iconographic identification and of the connections between Ellora and the world of the Deccan in the seventh and eighth centuries. " -- Paul J. Griffiths, University of Chicago

Synopsis
Ellora is one of the great cave temple sites of India, with thirty-four major Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments of the late sixth to tenth centuries A. D. This book describes the Buddhist caves at Ellora and places them in the context of Buddhist art and iconography. Ellora's twelve Buddhist cave temples, dating from the early seventh to the early eighth centuries, preserve an unparalleled one-hundred-year sequence of architectural and iconographical development. They reveal the evolution of a Buddhist mandala at sites in other regions often considered "peripheral" to the heartland of Buddhism in eastern India. At Ellora, the mandala, ordinarily conceived as a two-dimensional diagram used to focus meditation, is unfolded into the three-dimensional program of the cave temples themselves, enabling devotees to walk through the mandala during worship. The mandala's development at Ellora is explained and its significance is considered for the evolution of Buddhist art and iconography elsewhere in India., Geri H. Malandra is Associate Director of Professional Development and Conference Services, Continuing Education and Extension at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. In addition to her work on the prehistory, history, languages and art of ancient South Asia, she has also pursued research on the prehistory and art of ancient Iran and on Sumerian and ancient Near Eastern economic texts.

- 9***s (33)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI recently purchased a book from this seller, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. The book arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described. The packaging was secure, ensuring that the book was well-protected during shipping. The seller's communication was prompt and courteous, keeping me informed every step of the way. Delivery was surprisingly fast, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for a seamless and reliable transaction.
- s***0 (227)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI ordered this book at the same time from the same seller as its companion volume so comments are the same: item arrived in great shape in great packaging - just later than expected. I did contact the seller about the delay and received a very fast reply that more than satisfied me. Book arrived today. These things happen and I am okay with waiting a bit to be able to get books in excellent shape at amazing prices, especially if I get such a fast answer to inquiries. Thanks for offering!
- w***n (2209)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoOrdered 2 books on Automotive Engine Repair & Rebuilding, was sent "Street Railways and the growth of Los Angeles." Seller was very understanding and sent full refund, said to keep book or dispose of it, and that original books I ordered were no longer available. A search of their items for sale showed exact same picture of the books I ordered in a current listing. Based on this experience and that of others (read their feedback), did not try to order the new listing, just looked elsewhere.
