The Harvard Oriental Series is a monographic serial co-founded in 1891 by Henry Clarke Warren (A.B. 1879) and Charles Rockwell Lanman to provide scholarly English translations of the ancient Hindu Vedic texts. Its inaugural editor Charles Rockwell Lanman was an American scholar of Sanskrit who wrote the widely used Sanskrit Reader (1884). The series is now edited by the Wales Professor of Sanskrit in the Department of South Asian Studies at Harvard University, and distributed by the Harvard University Press. It has grown to an 80-plus-volume collection of text editions, translations, and studies of major texts in Hindu and Buddhist traditions.A subseries, Harvard Oriental Series Opera Minora, “aims at the swift publication of important materials that cannot be included in the mainly text-oriented Harvard Oriental Series.” Here is a link to the Harvard Oriental Series at Harvard University Press.
