On the history of contacts between Russian and Polish indologists in the 1st part of the 20th century
Abstract
This articles covers certain aspects of academic contacts between Russian and Polish indologists. It finds similarities in the development of the academic Indology in the two countries. Both indological schools had deep roots and benefited from the contacts with other European indological traditions, namely, British, German and French. In the 19th century Russian Academy sponsored the publishing of Sanskrit-German Dictionaries that became known worldwide as the St. Petersburg Dictionaries. Later on Professors Minaev, Oldenburg and Stcherbatsky in St. Petersburg continued research on India and pioneered teaching of Indology in Russia as an academic discipline. Russian-Polish contacts are discussed mostly in connection with the leading personality of Fiodor Ippolitovich Stcherbatsky (Sherbatsky), who was born in Poland but spent most of his life in St. Petersburg (Leningrad). Russian and Polish indologists shared their interest to early Buddhism. Such personalities as Professor Sherbatsky, Professor Gawroński, Professor Schayer contributed a great deal to the development of indological studies in Europe and to the discussion on Sherbatsky’s ideas.
