About the book
Essays on the Indian and Islamic strands in Mindanao’s arts and epics, by a scholar of Sanskrit in the Philippines.
Juan R. Francisco is a Filipino scholar of India and Sanskrit who taught at the University of the Philippines. He was the first to publish an English translation of Maharadia Lawana, the Maranao version of the Indian epic Ramayana. This volume gathers his essays on the art and culture of Mindanao, with attention to the Indian and Islamic strands in its arts and epics. Mindanao State University published it in 1988 as a special number of the Mindanao Journal (volume 14).
