Rye er en lille by i det engelske county East Sussex, i det historiske county Sussex i Sydengland. Den ligger omkring 3 km fra havet, hvor de tre floder Rother, Tillingham og Brede løber sammen. I middelalderen var den en vigtig del af Cinque Ports og lå ud til den engelske kanal næsten helt omgivet af havet.

Rye er officielt et civil parish men byen har status som by; i 2011 boede der 4.773 i Rye. I løbet af byens historie har den leveret skibe til kongen i krigstider og har været involveret i smugling i 1700- og 1800-tallet, idet flere bander som den berygtede Hawkhurst Gang brugte kroer og pubber i byen som The Mermaid Inn og The Olde Bell Inn, der var forbundet af hemmelige underjordiske gange.

Dens histori og charme gør det til en populær turistdestination, og meget af byens økonomi er baseret på det. Der findes flere hoteller, Bed & Breakfast og restauranter samt flere attraktioner som bl.a. Rye Castle som blev grundlagt i 1249, der ligger i selve byen, og Camber Castle der blev opført af Henrik 8. i 1500-tallet. Der er en mindre fiskeflåde og Rye Harbour har plads til yachter og andre både.

Bellatrix is the third-brightest star in the constellation of Orion, positioned 5° west of the red supergiant Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis). It has the Bayer designation γ Orionis, which is Latinized to Gamma Orionis. With a slightly variable magnitude of around 1.6, it is typically the 25th-brightest star in the night sky. Located at a distance of 250 light-years from the Sun, it is a blue giant star around 7.7 times as massive as the sun with 5.75 times its diameter.

Nomenclature

The traditional name Bellatrix is from the Latin bellātrix "female warrior"; it first appeared in the works of Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi and Johannes Hispalensis, where it originally referred to Capella, but was transferred to Gamma Orionis by the Vienna school of astronomers in the 15th century, and appeared in contemporary reprints of the Alfonsine tables. In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN; which included Bellatrix for this star. It is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names. The designation of Bellatrix as γ Orionis (Latinized to Gamma Orionis) was made by Johann Bayer in 1603. The "gamma" designation is commonly given to the third-brightest star in each constellation.

Standard star
Bellatrix has been used as both a photometric and spectral standard star, but both characteristics have been shown to be unreliable.

In 1963, Bellatrix was included with a set of bright stars used to define the UBV magnitude system. These are used for comparison with other stars to check for variability, and so by definition, the apparent magnitude of Bellatrix was set to 1.64. However, when an all-sky photometry survey was carried out in 1988, this star was suspected to be variable. It was measured ranging in apparent magnitude from 1.59 to 1.64, and appears to be a low amplitude, possibly irregular variable.

Physical properties

The spectral types for O and early B stars were defined more rigorously in 1971 and Bellatrix was used as a standard for the B2 III type. The expected brightness of Bellatrix from this spectral type is about one magnitude brighter than calculated from its apparent magnitude and Hipparcos distance. Analysis of the observed characteristics of the star indicate that it should be a B2 main sequence star, not the giant that it appears from its spectral type. Close analysis of high resolution spectra suggest that it is a spectroscopic binary composed of two similar stars less luminous than a B2 giant.

Bellatrix is a massive star with about 7.7 times the mass and 5.8 times the radius of the Sun. It has an estimated age of approximately 25 million years—old enough for a star of this mass to consume the hydrogen at its core and begin to evolve away from the main sequence into a giant star. The effective temperature of the outer envelope of this star is , which is considerably hotter than the 5,778 K on the Sun. This high temperature gives this star the blue-white hue that occurs with B-type stars. It shows a projected rotational velocity of around 52 km/s.

Companions
Bellatrix was thought to belong to the Orion OB1 association of stars that share a common motion through space, along with the stars of Orion's Belt: Alnitak (Zeta Orionis), Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis), and Mintaka (Delta Orionis). However, this is no longer believed to be the case, as Bellatrix is now known to be much closer than the rest of the group. It is not known to have a stellar companion, although researchers Maria-Fernanda Nieva and Norbert Przybilla raised the possibility it might be a spectroscopic binary. A 2011 search for nearby companions failed to conclusively find any objects that share a proper motion with Bellatrix. Three nearby candidates were all found to be background stars.

Some researchers suspected that Bellatrix was a member of 32 Orionis group. The 32 Ori group should be termed the Bellatrix Cluster on the basis that the sky position and distance of Bellatrix are similar to those of the 32 Ori group. The proper motion of Bellatrix deviates significantly from the mean motion of the group, leaving its membership in question. However, it may be possible to reconcile membership if the divergent velocity is the result of an unseen companion. For example, a face-on orbit with a black hole companion orbiting  from the star with a period measured in centuries could account for the discrepancy.

Etymology and cultural significance
Bellatrix was also called the Amazon Star, which Richard Hinckley Allen proposed came from a loose translation of the Arabic name Al Najīd, the Conqueror. A c.1275 Arabic celestial globe records the name as المرزم "the lion". Bellatrix is one of the four navigational stars in Orion that are used for celestial navigation.

In the 17th century catalogue of stars in the Calendarium of Al Achsasi al Mouakket, this star was designated Menkib al Jauza al Aisr, which was translated into Latin as Humerus Sinister Gigantis.

The Wardaman people of northern Australia know Bellatrix as Banjan, the sparkling pigment used in ceremonies conducted by Rigel the Red Kangaroo Leader in a songline when Orion is high in the sky. The other stars of Orion are his ceremonial tools and entourage. Betelgeuse is Ya-jungin "Owl Eyes Flicking", watching the ceremonies.

To the Inuit, the appearance of Betelgeuse and Bellatrix high in the southern sky after sunset marked the beginning of spring and lengthening days in late February and early March. The two stars were known as Akuttujuuk "those (two) placed far apart", referring to the distance between them, mainly to people from North Baffin Island and Melville Peninsula.

Pečatno pismo (篆書, jap. tenshotai, 篆書体 / てんしょたい, kin. 篆書; pinyin: zhuànshū) je logogramsko pismo. Nastalo je u kineskom brončanom dobu, što vremenski odgovara mlađoj polovici 1. tisućljeća prije Krista. Prvi jezik zapisan njime bio je starokineski jezik. Nastao je od pisma na kostima za gatanje (kin.甲骨文), a pečatno pismo razvilose od kineskog pisma u bronci iz dinastije Chou, ničući iz zaraćene države Qina. Qinska inačica pečatnog pisama postala je standardom. Prihvaćena je kao formalna za cijeli Kitaj iz doba dinastije Qin. Još uvijek je u širokoj uporabi u dekoracijskom graviranju i pečatima (štapići s imenima) u dinastiji Hanu. Pečatnim pismo danas nazivamo veliko pečatno pismo (大篆 Dàzhuàn; jap.  daiten; kor. daejeon) i malo pečatno pismo (小篆 Xiǎozhuàn; jap. shōten; kor. sojeon). Potonje se jednostavno naziva pečatno pismo. Veliko pečatno pismo izvorno je bila mlađa referencija dinastije Han ka pisanju qinskog sustava, ali starije od malog pečatnog pisma. Doslovno prevevši kinesko ime 篆書 (zhuànshū), dobili bismo izraz "dekorativno gravirno pismo". Ovo je ime nastalo u vrijeme dinastije Han, no dotad je njegova uloga više spala na obredne napise nego što je bilo u uporabi kao standardizirano pismo.

Računala
Namjerava se jednog dana enkodirati malo pečatno pismo u Unikod. Unikodne točke od U+34000 do U+368FF (ravnina 3, tercijarna ideografska ravnina) tentativno su alocirana.

الإمام غالب بن علي الهنائي (1912 - 2009) هو غالب بن علي بن هلال بن زاهر بن سعيد الهُنائي نسبة إلى هُناءة بن مالك بن فهم الأزدي. ولد عام 1330 هجريًا في بلاد سيت من أعيان ولاية بهلاء العمانية. وهو آخر إمام عماني منتخب بويع بالإمامة يوم الاثنين 29 من شهر شعبان سنة 1373هـ الموافق 2 أيار 1954م بالاستخلاف من الإمام الذي قبله وهو الإمام محمد بن عبد الله بن سعيد الخليلي، ما لبثت قوات الاحتلال البريطاني أن اجتاحت عمان الداخلية فاندلعت حرب عنيفة معها في صيف عام 1957م عرفت بثورة الجبل الأخضر انتهت بخروج الإمام وقادة الثورة إلى خارج عُمان، إلا أن العمليات الثورية للمجاهدين العمانيين استمرت حتى بداية السبعينات.

رفض الإمام غالب العودة إلى عمان بعد حكم السلطان قابوس بن سعيد وعاش في الدمام بالمملكة العربية السعودية والتي أسس فيها حكومة منفى كانت تروج لقضية عمان في محافل العالم السياسية وتطلب الدعم العربي والعالمي للثوار العمانيين.
توفي الإمام في ثالث أيام عيد الأضحى 12 ذو الحجة 1430 هـ، الموافق 29 نوفمبر 2009م.

A ESPN Films, anteriormente conhecida como ESPN Original Entertainment (EOE), é uma produtora americana que produz e distribui filmes e documentários esportivos. É propriedade da ESPN Inc., uma joint venture entre a The Walt Disney Company (que detém o controle de 80%) e a Hearst Communications (que detém os 20% restantes).

Criada em março de 2008, a ESPN Films produz filmes que cobrem histórias relacionadas ao esporte. Os projetos da subsidiária incluem 30 for 30 (e suas ramificações 30 for 30: Soccer Stories e a série digital 30 for 30 Shorts), a aclamada série Nine for IX e SEC Storied.

História
A ESPN Films traça sua história até 2001, quando a ESPN Inc. formou a ESPN Original Entertainment, uma divisão de programação que produziu vários talk shows, séries, documentários e filmes feitos para a TV que foram ao ar na ESPN e suas redes relacionadas. A subsidiária encerrou as operações por vários meses a partir de 2007. O logotipo da empresa não apareceu como um cartão de visita em nenhum programa da ESPN, com exceção do talk show diário Jim Rome is Burning.

Em 3 de março de 2008, a ESPN anunciou que iria relançar a unidade como ESPN Films. Sob a reestruturação, a ESPN Films começou a produzir projetos para lançamento nos cinemas, além da televisão; a controladora corporativa majoritária The Walt Disney Company detém o direito de preferência em todos os projetos. Além disso, a ESPN anunciou uma nova aliança com a Creative Artists Agency, que entre seus diversos clientes, representa atletas como LeBron James, David Beckham e Peyton Manning.

A primeira produção sob a bandeira da ESPN Films foi Black Magic, um documentário de quatro horas que estreou na ESPN sem interrupção comercial por duas noites consecutivas a partir de 16 de março de 2008. O filme, que ganhou o prêmio Peabody em 2009, sobre a história do basquete jogado em faculdades e universidades historicamente negras. O primeiro filme teatral da empresa foi X Games 3D: The Movie, lançado em 21 de agosto de 2009.

Em 6 de outubro de 2009, a ESPN estreou 30 for 30, uma série de 30 horas produzida pela ESPN Films que estreou em comemoração ao 30º aniversário do lançamento da rede a cabo. Entre os participantes do projeto estão Spike Lee, Richard Linklater, Barry Levinson e Mike Tollin. A série, que ganhou os prêmios Peabody e Producer's Guild e foi indicada ao Emmy, apresentou reflexões inteligentes e inovadoras sobre as três décadas anteriores nos esportes, contadas por meio de uma gama diversificada de fãs de esportes e comentaristas sociais. A reação positiva de críticos e telespectadores levou a um spin-off 30 for 30: Volume II. A ESPN conquistou seu primeiro Oscar quando OJ: Made in America ganhou na categoria de Melhor Documentário no Oscar de 2017.

Las leyes Porcias fueron tres leyes del siglo II a. C. de Roma cuyas fechas y contenido no se saben con certeza. Su número nos consta por Cicerón: que tres sunt tria Porciorum (De Republica, II, 31 &54) Su fecha la coloca Lange en los años  198, 194 y 184 a. C.; pero Maynz observa que deben ser posteriores al año 585 de Roma, fecha hasta donde los anales de Tito Livio, que no contienen la historia de estas leyes. El mismo Maynz dice que según una moneda de plata que se encuentra en Eckhel (V, 286) es probable que el autor de una de estas leyes fuera Publio Porcio Leca.

En cuanto a su contenido sí que lo indica Tito Livio diciendo: Porcia tamen lex...gravi poena, si quis verberasset, necassetque civem romanum, sanxit, con cuya indicación convienen Cicerón y Salustio; pero no sabemos si todas las tres leyes dispusieron lo mismo o no, ni cual era la pena grave que imponían. Lange opina que la primera de estas leyes sería la pro tergo civium lata, o sea aquella cuyo contenido nos indica Tito Livio; la segunda permitiría la provocatio ad populum fuera de Roma y que hasta ella no pudo ser invocada longius ab urbe mille passum (si bien Mommsen duda de que se diese nunca esta apelación fuera de Roma) y la tercera limitaría el imperium militar prohibiendo a los oficiales la fustium verbatio sobre losm soldados ciudadanos. La tendencia de estas leyes fue la de limitar la imposición de la pena de muerte al ciudadano, especialmente por motivos políticos. Ya la Ley de las XII Tablas había dispuesto que solamente por una decisión de los comicios centuriados (comitiatus maximus) pudiera el ciudadano ser privado de la vida, de la libertad o de la ciudadanía; pero esto se infringió, por lo que había la necesidad de dictar la Ley Porcia de tergo civium lata, si bien después de ella la sangrienta reacción que siguió a la derrota de Tiberio Graco volvió a violar tales disposiciones, que fueron de nuevo sancionadas por la Ley Sempronia de Cayo Graco en el año 631 de Roma. En cuanto a la pena impuesta por la Ley Porcia, acaso fuese la misma que la de maiestas o de la perduellio. En estas disposiciones se fundó San Pablo para eludir el ser azotado, alegando su calidad de ciudadano romano.

Big Bone Lick State Park is located at Big Bone in Boone County, Kentucky. The name of the park comes from the Pleistocene megafauna fossils found there. Mammoths are believed to have been drawn to this location by a salt lick deposited around the sulfur springs.  Other animals including forms of bison, caribou, deer, elk, horse, mastodon, moose, musk ox, peccary, ground sloths, wolves, black bears, stag moose, saber-toothed cats, and possibly tapir also grazed the vegetation and salty earth around the springs that the animals relied on for their diet.

History
The salt lick, or lick, as it is more generally known locally, and its fossil deposits, were long known to the original inhabitants of the area. The area was named after the extraordinarily large bones, including those of mammoths and mastodons, found in the swamps around the salt lick frequented by animals, who need salt in their diets. The mineral springs are created by water flowing through the underlying formations of limestone and shale, where the trapped salts are dissolved and carried, in solution, to the surface, creating a brine spring. The area near the springs was very soft and marshy causing many animals to become stuck with no way to escape.

18th century

The site may have been visited as early as 1739 by Captain Charles le Moyne de Longueuil, Baron de Longueuil. He took the fossils he recovered back to France with him the next year and donated them to the natural history museum in the Jardin des Plantes.

On March 13, 1750, Christopher Gist stopped at Big Bone Lick and wrote in his journal:

"Wednesday 13. — We set out...down the said River on the SE Side...I met two men belonging to Robert Smith at whose House I lodged...The said Robt. Smith had given me an order upon these men for two of the teeth of a large Beest, which they were bringing from towards the Falls of the Ohio, one of which I turned in and delivered to the Ohio Company...The tooth which I brought in...was a Jaw toothe of better Weight than four Pounds; it appeared to be the furtherest Tooth in the Jaw, and looked Like Fine Ivory when the outside was scraped off."

Gist is referring to Robert Smith, an Indian trader, who may have visited Big Bone Lick as early as 1744.

Mary Draper Ingles, a frontier settler, was captured by Shawnee Indians on July 30, 1755, and taken to Lower Shawneetown. After two weeks there, she was taken to Big Bone Lick and put to work boiling brine to make salt, which the Shawnee sold or traded for other goods. In late October, Ingles persuaded another woman to escape with her and they walked over  to her home in what is now Blacksburg, Virginia.

In 1762, amateur naturalist James Wright wrote to John Bartram describing the Big Bone Lick and some of the fossils there, although he had not been there himself, and had heard about them from the Indians:
"There appear to be the remains of 5 Entire Sceletons, with their heads All pointing towards Each other, And near together, suppos'd to have fallen at the same time...Their heads, of which two were larger than the rest, one of these, they said a Man Could but Just Grasp in Both his Arms, with a long Nose, And the Mouth on the underside...They Judged the Creature when Alive must have been the Size of a Small House."

Indian trader George Croghan visited Big Bone Lick in May 1765 and took two six-foot tusks and several other fossil bones, but when he was attacked by Indians a few days later, he lost all his belongings. He returned to Big Bone Lick in June 1766, and collected a number of bones which he took back with him to New York and sent to Benjamin Franklin as a gift. The bones were first examined by botanist Peter Collinson who pronounced them "the carcasses of drowned elephants," who had died, according to Collinson, during The Deluge described in the Book of Genesis. Anatomist William Hunter examined the bones and suggested that they came from an extinct species of carnivorous elephant, which became known as "the American incognitum". Naturalist Georges Cuvier decided that they belonged to an extinct ancestor of the elephant, which Cuvier named "Mastodontes." The idea that any species ever became extinct was revolutionary at this time.

Daniel Boone reportedly visited Big Bone Lick between May and July 1770, after having been captured and released by Shawnee Indians. According to Lyman Draper, Boone "examined the wonderful fossil remains of mammoth found there." On June 15, 1775, Nicholas Cresswell visited Big Bone Lick, then called "Elephant Bone Lick". His diary entry reads, in part:
"Found several bones of a prodigious size, I take them to be Elephants, for we found a part of a tusk, about two foot long, Ivory to all appearance, but by length of time had grown yellow and very soft. All of us stripped and went into the pond to grabble for teeth and found several. Joseph Passiers found a jaw tooth which he gave me. It was judged by the company to weigh 10 pound. I got a shell of a Tusk of hard and good ivory about eighteen inches long. There is a great number of bones in a Bank on the side of this pond of an enormous size but decayed and rotten. Ribs 9 inches broad, Thigh bones 10 inches diameter. What sort of animals these were is not clearly known."

In 1795 future president William Henry Harrison collected 13 hogsheads full of fossils, all of which were lost when the barge carrying them sank on the Ohio River.

19th century

In 1803 physician William Goforth excavated a large number of bones at Big Bone Lick and sold them in Europe, although the money was stolen from him. Goforth described his finds to Meriwether Lewis who wrote a lengthy description of the bones to Thomas Jefferson. Lewis visited Big Bone Lick in late 1803 and retrieved a number of bones, all of which were lost or stolen. In September 1807 Lewis's friend William Clark, accompanied by his brother George Rogers Clark, visited Big Bone Lick and removed over 300 bones and teeth, which he sent to Jefferson with an eleven-page description. Jefferson donated some of the bones to the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. Studies of the bones allowed naturalists to distinguish between mastodons and mammoths and a few other species found in the collection. Jefferson's own private collection was unfortunately ground into fertilizer by a servant.

Clark also found three Clovis spear points, which indicated that early Native Americans had hunted in the area. One mastodon bone was unearthed with a noticeable cut mark on it, implying that the Clovis people lived in the area thousands of years ago.

The Clay House, a resort hotel, opened nearby in 1815, offering visitors an opportunity to bathe in the supposedly medicinal salt mineral springs. It quickly became popular among naturalists, who came to find bones for museums or private collections. Notable visitors included Yale professor Benjamin Silliman and natural history professor Constantine S. Rafinesque, among others. The Clay House closed in 1830.

By the mid-19th century most of the fossils had been removed, and in 1868 paleontologist Nathaniel Southgate Shaler conducted an extensive excavation to remove all remaining fossils and take them to the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology for study. Despite this, Dr. Christopher Columbus Graham, at the advanced age of 93, began excavations in 1877. Graham wrote in an article for the Louisville Courier, "The Mammoth's Graveyard," that he spent thirty days at the site while ten men dug up the fossils. He collected seven barrels of bones and teeth of mastodons and mammoths, as well as buffalo skulls and the remains of bear, wolf and cougar. Graham corresponded with Charles Darwin and English geologist Sir Charles Lyell, (who had visited the site in 1841) regarding Big Bone Lick.

20th century

In 1932, William Snyder Webb and William Funkhouser conducted an extensive archaeological survey of Big Bone Lick, which uncovered two prehistoric burial mounds and a cemetery of uncertain age.

From 1962 to 1967 the University of Nebraska conducted excavations, seeking any remaining fossils and attempting to determine the age and ecological context of the mammoths and mastodons that had died there. Over 2,000 fossils were uncovered and identified, including the bones of the giant ground sloth (Mylodon harlani and Megalonyx jeffersoni), tapir (Tapirus haysii), mastodon (Mammut americanum), large bison (Bison antiquus), musk ox (Bootherium sp.), giant moose-like deer (Cervalces scotti), caribou (Rangifer sp.), elk (Cervus canadensis and Alces americanus), woolly mammoth (Elephas primigenius and Elephas columbi), and horse (Equus sp.). These fossils were dated to the Wisconsin Glacial Period (c. 115,000 – c. 11,700 years ago) and are now on display at the University of Nebraska State Museum. The team also found an Early Archaic spearpoint dated to between 8,000 and 10,000 years old.

Excavations in 1981 uncovered the burials of an adult male and a child, as well as a number of earth ovens and the remains of a house dating to the Late Archaic period. In 1993, an excavation uncovered stone tools, cores, and debitage, limestone tempered and shell tempered ceramics, fire-cracked rock, and faunal remains, including bison teeth. The tools and ceramics  were recovered from a large pit and were determined to be Late Woodland and Fort Ancient types. The investigators concluded that the feature was "established and used by Late Woodland people, and that the locality was subsequently occupied by Fort Ancient people after an indeterminate period." It appears likely that Paleo-Indian groups visited the site to make salt by boiling brine, as salt was an important trade item.

History of the park

In 1950 the Boone County Historical Society was organized and began considering the possibility of creating a park in the area. The Big Bone Lick Historical Association was formed in 1953, and in 1956 purchased 16.66 acres of land, which they deeded to the Kentucky State Commissioner for conservation. In December 1960, the Kentucky Department of Parks began constructing picnic areas, a shelter, and a parking lot. By 1962, the purchase of additional land brought the size of the park to 175 acres. The park was listed in 1972 on the National Register of Historic Places. The Big Bone Lick Historic Site Museum was constructed in 1990 at a cost of $4 million. By 2000, the park had reached its current size of 512 acres.

In 2002, the National Park Service designated Big Bone Lick State Park as an official Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail Site. The park was listed as a National Natural Landmark in February 2009. It bills itself as "the birthplace of American paleontology".

Activities and amenities
The visitors center (opened 2004) features indoor and outdoor exhibits of fossils, American art, and a 1,000 pound mastodon skull as well as a gift shop. Exhibits provide information on geology as well as Native American history.

The park features several nature trails, including a Discovery Trail that includes a boardwalk around a marsh bog diorama with recreations of a woolly mammoth, a mastodon, a ground sloth, bison, and scavengers feeding on carcasses and skeletal remains. The Discovery Trail winds through several habitats, including grassland, wetland and savanna, and is accessible to the physically challenged.

A small bison herd is also maintained on-site.

The park has picnicking facilities and a 62-site campground.

Lorenz Franz Kielhorn (født 31. maj 1840 i Osnabrück, død 19 marts 1908 i Göttingen) var en tysk sanskritist.

Kielhorn studerede i Göttingen, Breslau, Berlin, London og Oxford klassisk filologi og sanskrit; 1862—65 var han i England, 1866—81 professor i sanskrit ved Deccan College i Punah og blev 1882 professor i sanskrit ved Göttingens Universitet. Hans vigtigste arbejder er: Çāntanava's Phiṭsūtra (med oversættelse, Leipzig 1866, i 4. bind af Abhandlungen für die Kunde des Morgenlandes), Nāgojibhaṭṭa's Paribhāshenduçekhara (bind I, tekst, Bombay 1868; bind II, oversættelse, sammesteds 1874, i Bombay Sanskrit Series, som Kielhorn grundede sammen med Georg Bühler 1866), Sanskrit Grammar (sammesteds 1870; 3. oplag 1888; oversat på tysk af Wilhelm Solf, Berlin 1888), Kātyāyana and Patañjali (Bombay 1876), The Vyākaraṇa-mahābhāshya of Patañjali (3 bind, sammesteds 1880—85; 2. oplag bind I, 1892), Report on the search of Sanskrit Manuscripts (sammesteds 1881). I øvrigt beskæftigede Kielhorn sig
hovedsagelig med indiske indskrifter og kronologiske arbejder (i Indian Antiquary, Epigraphia Indica, Academy osv.). Efter Bühlers død overtog han ledelsen af Grundriss der indoarischen Philologie.
