Taschenbuch. Zustand: 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 authori…ties 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.
