Item description from seller

Language: English. About The book: A Dictionary of the Bhotanta or Boutan Language by Frederic Christian Gotthelf Schroeter, posthumously prepared by William Carey, is a pioneering linguistic work on the Tibetan language. Schroeter, a German missionary, began extensive studies of Tibetan while stationed in Titalya near Darjeeling, translating a Capuchin Tibetan dictionary from Italian into English and compiling his own English-Tibetan dictionary and grammar. After Schroeter’s untimely death in 1820, Carey and John Clark Marshman edited and published his manuscripts in 1826 at Serampore. The dictionary provides comprehensive vocabulary, definitions, and linguistic insights, serving as an essential resource for scholars, missionaries, and linguists studying Tibetan and Bhutanese language and culture. About The Author: Frederic Christian Gotthelf Schroeter (1786–1820) was a German missionary and linguist who studied Tibetan in India, translating and compiling dictionaries and grammar. His unfinished work was posthumously published in 1826 as A Dictionary of the Bhotanta or Boutan Language. About the Author: William Carey (1761–1834), a British missionary and "father of modern missions," founded Serampore College, translated the Bible into multiple Indian languages, authored influential works on Christian duty, and wrote A Grammar of the Bengalee Language, shaping education and linguistics in India. About the Author: Clark Marshman (1794–1877), son of Baptist missionaries, was a historian, journalist, and translator in India.
