- W3133633743 abstract "The historical pole of this research distinguishes differing historical and cultural contexts in which the scholar al-Biruni evolved. Between the years 973 and 1017, he lived in Khwarezm (Kat and JurjanTya), Ray, and Jurjan. He also dwelt in Kabul and Ghazna, both situated on a passage between Persia and India, and travelled to some parts of early medieval India between the years 1017 and 1030.Evidence pointing to him having made actual direct observations beyond the abode of Islam remains scanty. According to his writings, only five locales emerge as having been visited by him, all situated in today's Afghanistan and Pakistan. When al-BTrunl visited these places, he encountered the society of the Indian Shahis, who followed a form of Brahmanism.Al-Biruni's knowledge of Sanskrit was the result of a long process that lasted at least 30 years (1000-1030). In order to reach the level of Sanskrit that enabled him to translate several works from Sanskrit into Arabic, he needed to work with literate people well-versed in Sanskrit, who may also have had some comprehension of Arabic, and/or Persian.The textual pole of this dissertation examines the question of the relationship between al- Biruni's Arabic Kitab Sank and Kitab Patangal - two works related to Samkhya-Yoga - and their possible Sanskrit sources. A philological survey based on these Arabic translations and on Samkhya-Yoga Sanskrit literature highlights that al-Biruni's translations, both, are related to the classical phase in the development of these two Indian philosophical systems. Despite the early spread of Yoga and Samkhya ideas through Sanskrit literature, it seems that between the early 11th and 16th centuries they lost vitality amongst Indian scholars. Therefore, al-Biruni's translation of works related to these specific Indian philosophies in the early 11th century CE deserves attention.The second pole of this study also demonstrates that al-BTrunl's hermeneutics played an important part in his transmission of these two Indian schools of thought, as he highly transformed his source in both form and substance. This dissertation considers the question of the relationship between al-Biruni's Arabic translations and their possible Sanskrit sources from the viewpoint of Translation Studies; which makes it possible to point out potential candidates for being al-Biruni's original Sanskrit sources with some confidence. Overall, the Kitab Sank and the Kitab Patangal represent original works of Samkhya and Yoga, as viewed and transmitted by a Perso-Muslim scholar, rather than pure translations of Sanskrit work." @default.
