Autorenporträt
Arthur William Ryder was an esteemed scholar of Sanskrit, best known for his translations of key Indian texts into English. Born on March 8, 1877, in Oberlin, Ohio, Ryder became a prominent figure in the academic study of Sanskrit and Indian literature. He served as a professor of Sanskrit at the University of California, Berkeley, where he made significant contributions to the field. Ryder is particularly renowned for his translations of classic works such as the Panchatantra and the Bhagavad Gita, making these ancient texts more accessible to a Western audience while preserving their cultural depth and philosophical richness. His translations are celebrated for their clarity, literary quality, and attention to the original meaning. Beyond his translation work, Ryder was deeply engaged in the study of Indian literature and thought, and his scholarship helped foster greater appreciation for Sanskrit texts in the English-speaking world. He passed away on March 21, 1938, at the age of 61, in Berkeley, California, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the field of Indology and the translation of Sanskrit literature.
