Book Synopsis
With Morphology and Syntax of Old Hindī scholars and students of medieval Hindī literature acquire an essential tool for learning one of its important but difficult dialects, the so called sadhukkarī bhāshā. Based on an early Rājasthānī manuscript, the volume includes a commented edition of one hundred poems attributed to medieval mystic and thinker Kabīr, followed by a detailed treatment of morphological structure and main syntactic features of the language. The exposition is accompanied by numerous textual examples and index of all lexical and grammatical morphs. The book can be used as a descriptive grammar of the dialect in question, an aid to the study of historical development of New Indo-Aryan languages, and a reader for use in university courses.

Trade Review
"The work represents a perfect tool for study, and nothing less than a comprehensive analysis of the language of the Rajasthani Kabīr tradition as transmitted in 1615 CE." - Monika Horstmann, Heidelberg, in: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 112 (2017)
