Early Buddhist Artisans and Their Architectural Vocabulary
Brand: Routledge
Description
The early Buddhist architectural vocabulary being the first of its kind maintained its monopoly for about half a millennium beginning from the third century BCE. To begin with it was oral not written. The Jain Hindu and other Indian sectarian builders later developed their vocabulary on this foundation though not identically. This book attempts to understand this vocabulary and the artisans who first made use of it.
