Working on the proofs of the critical edition of Georges Dumézil, Mitra-Varuna – forthcoming in December 2024 with HAU books

It has taken a long time to get to this stage, but I’m now working on the proofs of the critical edition of Georges Dumézil, Mitra-Varuna: An Essay on Two Indo-European Representations of Sovereignty – forthcoming in December 2024 with HAU books.

The new edition uses the translation by Derek Coltman as the basis, but also has notes with all the first edition variants, updated, completed and sometimes corrected notes, a new Introduction by me and an Afterword by Veena Das.
