Mircea Eliade’s Unpublished Manuscripts from Private Collections: Notebooks I & II (Calcutta, 1929-1931). Critical edition
Rezumat
Abstract. The present series of contributions critically edits in Romanian and English, with concordances and commentary, a string of unpublished, multilingual manuscripts written by the young Mircea Eliade, Indologist and historian of religions in South Asia, from 1929 to 1931. Previously unknown, the manuscripts were purchased by a private collector, who most graciously contacted the editors in February 2023 and bequeathed them for the present publication. The series complements ECCE | The Complete Critical Edition of Mircea Eliade’s Scholarly Works before 1945, under the auspices of the Institute for the History of Religions in Bucharest (first two volumes forthcoming).
Keywords. Mircea Eliade, private collector, colonial India, History of religions, South Asian studies, Romanian culture, European culture, manuscript studies, critical editions.
