The Sacred Books of the Aryas, Part 1, Apastamba and Gautama, is a book written by Georg Buhler in 1879. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the teachings of four ancient Indian schools of thought, namely Apastamba, Gautama, Vasishtha, and Baudhayana. The teachings of these schools are based on the sacred texts of the Aryas, who were a group of people who migrated to India from Central Asia. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the teachings of Apastamba and Gautama. Buhler provides a detailed analysis of the teachings of these two schools, including their philosophy, rituals, and social customs. The book also includes translations of some of the sacred texts of the Aryas, which are used as the basis for these teachings. Buhler's work is considered to be a seminal text in the field of Indology, as it provides a rare glimpse into the ancient Indian education system and the teachings of these four schools of thought. The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to other works in the field. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient India, as well as for scholars of religion and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
