The Indus Script: Texts, Concordance and Tables c4.s5.15

c4.s5.15

Dr Parpola had gone through the Photo Archive of the ASI in 1975 and identified most of its material. In collaboration with Dr Kimmo Koskenniemi, he brought out a revised edition of the Finnish concordance in three volumes in 1979-1982, since there was still scope for improving upon the reading of the inscriptions and upon Mahadevan's work. The new version was published in a preliminary limited edition as research reports, because the work on the present Corpus of Indus Seals and Inscriptions was expected to bring still further improvements upon the textual readings as well as new inscriptions.⁵⁰ The updated version will appear in print after the publication of the three volumes of the Corpus, for such a standardized and indexed text edition remains a necessary complement to the photographic Corpus.
