From the Introduction by Jonathan Katz:
The articles in this volume are revised versions of papers
presented at a session organized by Dr Sanjukta Gupta and the
author for the 1987 World Sanskrit Conference in Leiden. The
general interest in this session was the role of the Sanskrit
tradition in the performing arts in India. Narrowing this down, the
organizers invited participants to consider the relations between
theory and practice in music and dance, with particular reference
to the Sanskrit textual tradition of musicology. The responses to
this invitation varied in approach. Broadly speaking, the
discussions were concerned with two areas of investigation. Some
examined the ways in which the theoretical treatises could throw
light on the history of the arts themselves; others explored the
theoretical models and explanations as systems for understanding
and codifying ideas and practices. This book raises through
detailed discussions in this field, more general issues found in
the character of "??stric technical discourse.
