Ebert 4883. - Vgl. Lowndes II, 976 (engl. Orig.-Ausgabe 1776). - Erste deutsche Ausgabe. - "This code was a digest of Sanskrit law-books made, at the instance of Hastings, by eleven Brahmans ... Halhed was the first to call public attention to the affinity between Sanskrit words and those of Persian, Arabic and even Latin and Greek, an affinity already detected somewhat earlier by French jesuits. He was thus a pioneer of modern philology." (DNB VIII, 925) - Vorsatz mit Eintragungen von alter Hd. Einbd. mit Gebrauchsspuren.
