Sanskrit
Antonia Ruppel is a Classicist by training who came to Sanskrit through a series of fortunate accidents. She learnt the language as an autodidact, and one of her reasons for writing her textbook, The Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit (2017), was to make the experience of studying Sanskrit easier and more pleasant for others. She published the follow-up volume, An Introductory Sanskrit Reader: Improving Reading Fluency (2021), designed to help students gain reading fluency in an enjoyable and straightforward way. She is also the co-editor of the recent Veda-Sätze – Vedic Sentences (2024), a collection of 863 short texts.
Language pedagogy is at the heart of her life. She has been teaching Sanskrit for 20 years at universities such as Cornell, Oxford, the LMU Munich, and online at Yogic Studies. She is also the host of The Sanskrit Studies Podcast.
