Description
Krishna: A Sourcebook. Edited by EDWIN F. BRYANT. NEW YORK: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2007. Pp. xiv + 575. This impressive book contains twenty-two chapters divided into four sections organized under the following headings: "Classical Source Material" (chs. 1-4, pp. 21-136), "Regional Literary Expressions'" (chs. 5-12, pp. 136-306), "Philosophy and Theology" (chs. 13-18, pp. 307-474), and "Hagoigraphy and Praxis" (chs. 19-22, pp. 475-575). The introduction by the editor provides a useful review of the various representations of what Indian tradition has always considered to be one and the same deity. Given that this collection of texts uses transliteration without diacritics, I have adopted the practice here.
