Taschenbuch. Condición: 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. Condición: 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 of Devnagari/Sanskrit inscriptions with tissue overlays (one lacking). Quarto (10.75" x 8.5"). 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- Rebound in recent sheep leather, gilt title and year to spine, speckled green leaves, edges renewed. Light rubbing and soiling to boards, corners bumped. Occasional light foxing and soiling to internal pages, faint marginal damp-staining to outer margins of the first few and last few leaves. Tears to gutters on last four leaves are repaired, affecting text on pp319-320, with minor loss to readability but the sense is clearly understood. A remarkably attractive copy overall.…

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. Londres, 1777 1 volume in-8 (21,7 x 14 cm) de CXX et 285 pages. Avec 8 planches gravées hors-texte représentant des caractères sanscrits, dont plusieurs dépliantes. Reliure de l'époque plein veau, dos à nerfs orné aux petites fers dorés typiques de la période 1790-1800 (dos décoratif assez bien conservé - pièce de titre épidermée).

Quelques marques anciennes d'appartenance sur le titre et une signature ancienne dans le texte (Le Marchand, ancien propriétaire fin XVIIIe s.). Petites galeries de vers en marge aux derniers feuillets, sans gravité. Édition originale anglaise. Texte fondamental pour l'histoire du droit hindou et de l'administration coloniale britannique en Inde. Publié sous l'impulsion de la Compagnie britannique des Indes orientales et sous le gouvernement de Warren Hastings, cet ouvrage constitue la première tentative de codification des lois hindoues à destination des tribunaux coloniaux. Le texte est issu d'un processus de traduction en plusieurs étapes : compilé en sanskrit par des pandits indiens, traduit en persan, puis rendu en anglais par Nathaniel Brassey Halhed. Ce dispositif visait à permettre aux administrateurs britanniques de juger les populations locales selon leurs propres lois, dans une logique d'administration indirecte. Le Code des Gentoux rassemble un ensemble de prescriptions civiles, religieuses et pénales : lois relatives à la propriété, aux castes, aux mariages, aux dettes, aux crimes, aux peines et aux amendes. Il constitue à la fois un code civil et criminel, reflétant l'organisation hiérarchisée de la société indienne telle qu'elle fut perçue par les Britanniques au XVIIIe siècle. Bien complet des 8 planches gravées en caractères sanscrits, dont certaines dépliantes. Très bon exemplaire d'un ouvrage important pour l'histoire du droit, de l'Inde et de l'orientalisme au XVIIIe siècle. First English edition. A fundamental text for the history of Hindu law and British colonial administration in India. Published under the auspices of the British East India Company and during the governorship of Warren Hastings, this work represents the first attempt to codify Hindu laws for use in colonial courts. The text results from a multi-stage translation process: originally compiled in Sanskrit by Indian pandits, then translated into Persian, and finally rendered into English by Nathaniel Brassey Halhed. This undertaking aimed to enable British administrators to adjudicate local populations according to their own laws, within a framework of indirect rule. The Code of Gentoo Laws brings together a body of civil, religious, and penal prescriptions, including laws relating to property, castes, marriage, debts, crimes, punishments, and fines. It thus constitutes both a civil and criminal code, reflecting the hierarchical organization of Indian society as understood by the British in the eighteenth century. The term "Gentoo," now obsolete, was used by Europeans to designate Hindus, referring broadly to the non-Muslim indigenous populations of the Indian subcontinent. The work therefore belongs to the early development of legal Orientalism and to the formation of colonial knowledge concerning Indian institutions. Complete with the 8 engraved plates depicting Sanskrit characters, some of which are folding. A ood copy of an important work for the history of law, India, and eighteenth-century Orientalism.…
