Tschaturangavidjâ: Literatur des Schachspiels by Anton Schmid is one of the earliest major scholarly works about chess history. A bibliography and historical survey of chess literature, cataloging books and manuscripts about the game from different periods and languages. The Sanskrit title refers to Chaturanga, emphasizing chess’s origins in ancient India. The book is important because it helped establish chess as a serious subject of historical and academic study, tracing its development from India through Persia and into Europe.
