It was gonna be great.įor 120 seconds, people like me were shaking with delight. The books were even specially designed to look like Loebs. The Clays were supposed to be that same thing, ’cept they were gonna cover all of Sanskrit, the ancient ecclesiastical and everything-else-ical language of India. And they throw more onto the stack every year: all the Greek and Latin literature you’ve ever heard of, and then some. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen all the Loebs in one place, but at this point it’s a wall of green and red books. The Clay people wanted to make a series that would function just like the Loeb Classical Library. Lemme give you a little backstory.īefore there was the Murty Classical Library of India, there was the Clay Sanskrit Library (2005–2009, RIP).
