When writing was first employed in India and how the Indian Brāhmī alphabet was derived have been moot points for many decades among scholars. Max Müller's theory ('History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature' p. 507) that the use of writing for literary purposes was unknown to Pāṇini was thoroughly exploded by Goldstücker in 'Pāṇini and his place in Sanskrit Literature' and was later on abandoned by Max Müller himself.
