Editorial

Changes at the Pondicherry Centre of the EFEO There have been a number of changes in the staff at the EFEO Centre in Pondicherry in the last few months. François Grimal, who has been in Pondicherry for several decades, retired on 1st September 2015; Valérie Gillet, head of the Centre from April 2011 until January 31st 2016, will now be able to enjoy a well-earned rest from administrative work, for she has been replaced as head by Dominic Goodall on 1st February 2016; and Hugo David, member of the EFEO since 1st October 2015, joined the Pondicherry Centre at the beginning of January 2016.

A specialist of Indian classical philosophical systems and linguistic traditions, Hugo David will be conducting research in the traditional disciplines of Sanskrit grammar (Vyākaraṇa), exegesis/hermeneutics (Mīmāṃsā) and nondualist theology (Advaita Vedānta). His current research projects include a first English translation of the second book of Bhartṛhari’s Vākyapadīya with the auto-commentary (svavṛtti), one of the major works of the Pāṇinian tradition of Sanskrit grammar in the first millennium, in collaboration with S.L.P. Anjaneya Sarma (EFEO, Pondicherry) and Vincenzo Vergiani (University of Cambridge). This research principally aims at studying Bhartṛhari’s conceptions in the field of hermeneutics (i.e. the discipline fixing the rules of interpretation of texts, especially religious texts), and at better understanding the relations between exegesis and grammar in the early first millennium. He is also working at a first critical edition of Śaṅkara’s commentary on the Aitareyāraṇyaka, a long forgotten work by the famous Advaita master, of which several manuscripts have recently been discovered. Other ongoing projects include a first English translation of the Vidhiviveka (“An enquiry into human action”) by Maṇḍana Miśra 7th c.), the seminal treatise on Brahmanical theories of human action.
