Early History of the Vaishnava Faith and Movement in Bengal, from Sanskrit and Bengali Sources c3.2

c3.2

Much of the present work was written as early as 1930, and its publication was announced in the introduction to the author's edition of the *Padyāvalī* in 1934; but the pressure of other urgent engagements diverted the author from its revision and completion till 1940. In the meantime, parts of it were published, in the form of preliminary essays, in *Festschrift Moriz Winternitz*, *Kuppusvami Sastri Commemoration Volume*, *Indian Historical Quarterly* and *Indian Culture* during 1934-1937. In its final form, the work is much enlarged and revised in the light of more recent studies.
