Published in 1810, this work was one of the key translations of
texts that formed part of the law books of the Anglo-Indian civil
courts under the East India Company. A successor to the orientalist
and jurist Sir William Jones, Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1765 1837)
had taught himself Sanskrit and became involved in studying and
trying to codify Hindu law to apply it in the civil law courts
where he held superior judicial positions. Here he translates two
medieval texts, Jimutavahana's Dayabhaga and part of
Vijnaneshwara's Mitakshara, which formalised an area of legal
theory, serving as the principal guides in, respectively, Bengal
and the rest of India for laws on inheritance until the Hindu
Succession Act of 1956. Despite errors later identified in the
translation, Colebrooke's work stands as an important scholarly
undertaking, reflecting his desire to promote knowledge of Hindu
law, culture and heritage throughout the English-speaking world.
The scholar and East India Company administrator Henry Thomas
Colebrooke (1765-1837) brought India's rich mathematical heritage
to the attention of the wider world with the publication of this
book in 1817. Based on Sanskrit texts, it contains English
translations of classic works by the Indian mathematicians and
astronomers Brahmagupta (598-668) and Bhascara (1114-85), who were
instrumental thinkers in the development of algebra. Included here
are translations of chapters 12 and 18 of Brahmagupta's best-known
work, Brahmasphutasiddhanta, focusing on arithmetic and algebra
respectively. Also included in this book are translations of two of
the greatest works by Bhascara: Lilavati, his treatise on
arithmetic, and Bijaganita, on algebra. Furthermore, Colebrooke's
introduction aims to position the Indian advancement of algebra in
relation to its development by the Greeks and Arabs.
