5.0 out of 5 stars
Best choice for beginners,
By IM Taylor (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Practical Sanskrit Dictionary: With Transliteration, Accentuation and Etymological Analysis Throughout (Hardcover)
Apte and Monier-Williams are the most frequently used Sanskrit-English Dictionary, but Macdonnell has a number of advantages. Apte is a bit scruffy, MW is too big. Macdonnell's vocabulary is very comprehensive - it is rare that one has to go to Monier-Williams for a word not in Macdonnell, and unlike MW, it is strictly alphabetical, which make it very much easier to use. It is a handsome and easy-to-read production, unlike Apte. One tip for users - a whole page was omitted from the original 1923 edition as exists as an Addendum at the front of the book - if you can't find a word beginning with prac-, that is where it will be!
