| Abstract: | Bibliometric studies with dedication
pages are hard to come by. Hence, this study was taken up to find out types of
dedicatees, dedication pattern, trend of dedication, chronological distribution
of dedications, subject-wise distribution of dedications and reasons of
dedications. Some of the findings are quite interesting. Parents top the list
among dedicatees, followed by spouses, teachers, children, friends, students,
and so on. It is also to be noted that some authors of religious books have
dedicated their books to gods, goddesses and saints. The country, countrymen,
martyrs and leaders have also figured in the dedication pages of some books
penned by patriots. Some practitioners and teachers of medicine have dedicated
their books to patients whom possibly they could not forget because of their
untimely death or some other reason. |
