Literaricon

The Panchatantra (Sanskrit, literally 'five threads') is an ancient Indian text composed of five books, created between the late 3rd and 6th centuries AD. It is a collection of moral stories, fables, and animal tales that were used in the Indo-Iranian cultural sphere to educate princes at court, imparting the art of governance and worldly wisdom. The Orientalist and linguist Theodor Benfey (1809 - 1881) established himself as a pioneer of comparative fairy tale research with his two-volume edition of the Panchatantra. The present work is the first volume and includes an introduction to the Indian foundational work and its influences, as well as the sources and dissemination of its content. This is a reprint of the original edition from 1859.
