TY - GEN AB - 'Ownership and Inheritance in Sanskrit Jurisprudence' provides an account of various theories of ownership (svatva) and inheritance (daya) in Sanskrit jurisprudential literature (Dharmasastra). It examines the evolution of different juridical models of inheritance - in which families held property in trusts or in tenancies-in-common - against the backdrop of related developments in the philosophical understanding of ownership in the Sanskrit text-traditions of hermeneutics (Mimamsa) and logic (Nyaya) respectively. Christopher T. Fleming reconstructs medieval Sanskrit theories of property and traces the emergence of various competing schools of Sanskrit jurisprudence during the early modern period (roughly fifteenth-nineteenth centuries) in Bihar, Bengal, and Varanasi.
