Friedrich von Schlegel's Sanskrit-German Grammar

[Guest guest]

Dear List,

 

In his book written in Kannada, Dr I M Muttanna cites the following statement

of Friedrich von Schlegel (1772-1829):

 

"The Indian grammar offers the best example of perfect simplicity, combined

with the richest artistic construction."

 

and says that on the model of Panini, Friedrich von Schlegel wrote a

Sanskrit-German grammar.

 

(In Kannada, his original statement is: " PANiniya vyAkaraNavannanusarisi

SaMskRta-German vyAkaraNavannu baredanu".)

 

I am unable to understand Dr Muttanna's expression "Sanskrit-German

grammar". Is it the German grammar written in German in the sUtra style of

Panini ?

 

Thanks.

 

Kind regards.
