Kelsey Martini, B.A.

PhD student at the Doctoral Program in Buddhist Studies

Responsibilities

Kelsey Martini received his B.A. in South Asian Literature and Languages (Sanskrit) from the University of Washington (2018). In addition to providing a “selective re-editing” of the (primarily Buddhist) ancient Indian epigraphic corpus, his dissertation, “Issues of Early Indian Epigraphy (ca. 3rd c. BCE – 3rd c. CE): Problematic Ancient Inscriptions and their Bearing on Historical and Religious Study”, is focused on examining matters related to the economic and social development of early Indian Buddhism through the lens of a comparative analysis of select portions of the Kauṭilya Arthaśāstra. He is also working on a textual edition of British Library Kharoṣṭhī Scroll 10, an early Gandhāran Buddhist scholastic treatise.
