Luigia Nitti-Dolci, i manoscritti nepalesi di Sylvain Lévi, e gli studi indologici in Europa alla vigilia della Seconda guerra mondiale. (Italian)

This paper focuses on Luigia Nitti-Dolci's (1903-1939) researches on Prakrit grammars, which led to the publication of Les grammairiens prakrits (1938), of the editions of Puruṣottama's Prākr̥tānuśāsana (1938) and the first śākhā of Rāmaśarman's Prākr̥takalpataru (1939). By analysing both the historical background and the contribution of Nitti-Dolci's teachers, i.e. Sylvain Lévi and Jules Bloch, it aims to shed light on the development of Indological studies in Europe before World War ii. Moreover, it focuses on the manuscripts used by Nitti-Dolci, namely those brought back from Nepal by Lévi himself and those collected in India by George A. Grierson, analysing the function of Prakrit grammars as part of South-Asian cultural framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L'articolo ripercorre le ricerche sulle grammatiche pracrite condotte da Luigia Nitti-Dolci (1903-1939), autrice di Les grammairiens prakrits (1938), e delle edizioni del Prākr̥tānuśāsana di Puruṣottama (1938) e della prima śākhā del Prākr̥takalpataru di Rāmaśarman (1939). Attraverso l'analisi del contesto storico e del contributo dei maestri Sylvain Lévi e Jules Bloch, intende offrire un quadro degli studi indologici in Europa prima della Seconda guerra mondiale. Ricostruisce inoltre le fonti manoscritte usate dalla studiosa, ossia quelle riportate dal Nepal dallo stesso Lévi e quelle raccolte in India da George A. Grierson, indagando la funzione della grammatica pracrita e la sua evoluzione nel contesto culturale sud-asiatico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
