An honorary professor of Sanskrit and Hindu law at Fort William
College in Calcutta, and a key figure in the foundation of the
Royal Asiatic Society, Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1765-1837) became
Britain's foremost orientalist during the early nineteenth century.
Taking up the reins of Sanskrit scholarship following the death of
Sir William Jones (1746-94), Colebrooke made several substantial
contributions to Indic study. Through seminal publications such as
a grammar of Sanskrit and an extended article on the Vedas, he
provided unprecedented access to one of the world's oldest
languages and some of its oldest texts. Published in 1801, this
three-volume translation of Brahman law was based on a Sanskrit
compilation prepared by a pandit, Jagannatha Tercapanchanana, whose
learned commentary is also featured in the work. Volume 2 expounds
the legal issues concerning slavery, marriage and inheritance
rights.
