Summary

Description
English: The Bhagavad Gita is the most popular scripture of Hinduism. It is a 700-verse Sanskrit text that is a part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata (chapters 23–40 of Bhishma Parva). Scholars variously date it between the 5th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE. Gerald James Larson – an Indologist and classical Hindu Philosophies scholar, states "if there is any one text that comes near to embodying the totality of what it is to be a Hindu, it would be the Bhagavad Gita".

The above photo is of a manuscript copied on paper c. 1800 CE, and is now MS 2099 of the Schoyen Collection, near Oslo, Norway. It is written in classical Sanskrit on paper, Devanagari script.

This is a photograph of a two-dimensional manuscript copied in early 19th-century from a much older text. Therefore and PD-Art and PD-US-expired guidelines of wikimedia commons apply. Any rights I have as a photographer, I herewith donate to wikimedia commons under CC 4.0.
Français : La Bhagavad Gita est l'écriture sainte la plus populaire de l'hindouisme. Il s'agit d'un texte sanskrit de 700 versets qui fait partie de l'épopée hindoue Mahabharata (chapitres 23-40 de Bhishma Parva). Les spécialistes le datent diversement entre le 5e siècle avant notre ère et le 2e siècle avant notre ère. Gerald James Larson, indologue et spécialiste de la philosophie hindoue classique, affirme que "s'il y a un texte qui s'approche de l'incarnation de la totalité de ce que c'est qu'être hindou, c'est la Bhagavad Gita".

La photo ci-dessus représente un manuscrit copié sur papier vers 1800 de notre ère. Il s'agit du MS 2099 de la collection Schoyen, près d'Oslo, en Norvège. Il est écrit en sanskrit classique sur papier, en écriture Devanagari.

Il s'agit de la photographie d'un manuscrit bidimensionnel copié au début du XIXe siècle à partir d'un texte beaucoup plus ancien. Par conséquent, les directives PD-Art et PD-US-expired de wikimedia commons s'appliquent. Tous les droits que j'ai en tant que photographe, je les donne par la présente à wikimedia commons sous CC 4.0.
