Herman Tieken

Herman Tieken studied Sanskrit and Tamil at the Kern Institute of the University of Leiden in The Netherlands, where he later taught Sanskrit. His areas of interest are K vya literature in Sanskrit, Pr krit and Apabhram a, as well as Jaina texts, classical Tamil poetry and the A oka inscriptions. His work on these inscriptions, which he has published widely, fits into his long standing interest in the arrangement and internal cohesion of texts and in textual corpora.
