Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the second half of the eighteenth century, the English philologist Nathaniel Brassey Halhed (1751-1830) was employed in India by the East India Company. There he was asked to translate into English the Hindu legal code, so that the British authorities could better understand native laws. The result was this accomplished work, first published in 1776, which served to correct Western misinterpretations of Hindu law, and to show that it was fully adequate for application in Bengal, and also the most appropriate system, as opposed to Western-style laws, in the region's cultural and religious milieu. In preparing it, Halhed sought advice from experienced native lawyers, who provided verifications of both the Persian version and its Sanskrit original. Accompanied by the translator's preface and a glossary, this extensive code remains of relevance to scholars of Indian law and history.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Halhed, Nathaniel Brassey, A Code of Gentoo Laws, or Ordinations of the Pundits, from a Persian Translation made from the Original written in the Shanscrit Language. First edition, 1776, lxxiv, 61, [1], 322 pp. 8 copperplate leaves with tissue overlays. Quarto (11.5" x 9.5").  A beautiful, wide-margined larger paper copy of an extremely scarce work in English describing the principles of Hindu jurisprudence, to facilitate English colonial rule in India and expand the trading empire on a strong legal foundation. This monumental english translation is from the Vivadarnavasetu, a digest of Hindu law in 21 sections (taranga). This work was compiled for Warren Hastings, the governor-general of the East India Company and the plates were possibly compiled at the type foundry of Panchanan Karmakar of Serampore. The elevent pandits (pundats) consulted for this wonderful translation of Hindu laws were Banesvara, Kriparama, Rama Gopala, Krishnajivana, Viresvara, Krishnacandra, Guarikanta, Kalisankara, Syamasundara, Krishnakesava and Sitarama. The plates, showing minimal offsetting on opposite pages as usual, but virtually spotless, depict examples of the original Sanskrit texts. Halhed is immortalized in the history of Indian printmaking for A Grammar of the Bengal Language published in 1778. Condition- Publisher's original boards in plain paper, backed in calf and rebacked in period-style quarter calf with raised bands, edges mostly untrimmed, hinges reinforced.
