Scholastic Sanskrit
Scholastic Sanskrit: A Handbook for Students | Gary Alan Tubb, Emery Robert Boose
1 post
This volume gives a complete introduction to the techniques and procedures of Sanskrit commentaries, including detailed information on the overall structure of running commentaries, the standard formulas of analysis of complex grammatical forms, and the most important elements of commentarial style. Since the majority of expository texts in Sanskrit are composed in the form of commentaries on earlier texts, this Manual will be of great use to many Sanskrit translators. Furthermore, because many philosophical and scientific texts are written in the style of formal debate using the same basic principles, the features covered in the manual are useful for reading all expository texts, whether they are commentaries or not. Published by American Institute of Buddhist Studies (AIBS)

Finally reading this. I‘ve been studying Sanskrit for decades but never got a good grasp of the conventions of Sanskrit commentaries. This book is the text on commentaries.
