This volume is the first to attempt a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary analysis of the manuscript cultures implementing the pothi manuscript form (a loosely bound stack of oblong folios). It is the indigenous form by which manuscripts have been crafted in South Asia and the cultural areas most influenced by it, that is to say Central and South East Asia. The volume focuses particularly on the colophons featured in such manuscripts presenting a series of essays enabling the reader to engage in a historical and comparative investigation of the links connecting the several manuscript cultures examined here. Colophons as paratexts are situated at the intersection between texts and the artefacts that contain them and offer a unique vantage point to attain global appreciation of their manuscript cultures and literary traditions. Colophons are also the product of scribal activities that have moved across regions and epochs alongside the pothi form, providing a common thread binding together the many millions of pothis still today found in libraries in Asia and the world over. These contributions provide a systematic approach to the internal structure of colophons, i.e. their 'syntax', and facilitate a vital, comparative approach.

Louis Renou (1896-1966) a publié, en plus d’une soixantaine de livres, un grand nombre d’articles et de comptes rendus (près de cinq cents) ; les deux volumes (en pagination continue) constituant ce Choix d’études indiennes rassemblent 42 articles et comptes rendus, qui sont parus dans des périodiques français et étrangers, dans des volumes d’hommages et des recueils divers, et dont plusieurs étaient devenus difficilement accessibles. Certaines de ces publications atteignent la taille de la monographie. Les articles retenus, et repris avec leur pagination originale, couvrent l’ensemble de l’activité de Louis Renou, et se répartissent dans cinq grandes sections : 1. Védique et sanskrit. – 2. Tradition grammaticale. – 3. Structure et genre des textes. – 4. Lectures de la poésie. – 5. Histoire et culture. Le regroupement proposé ici met en évidence les axes dominants du travail du savant : « Une vaste explication sans cesse reprise, élargie et détaillée de la civilisation indienne », selon le mot de son Émile Benveniste, dont la notice est reproduite en ouverture de la présente sélection. La consultation de l’ouvrage est facilitée par trois répertoires importants : index des textes indiens, indes des mots et morphèmes sanskrits, index des notions. Cette présentation permet aux chercheurs et aux étudiants d’accéder à une œuvre dont l’érudition, la vigueur intellectuelle et le style restent exemplaires.
