The Carmelite missionary Paolino da San Bartolomeo (1748–1806) arrived in India in 1776. A noted orientalist, he was among the first to note the relationship between Sanskrit and European languages. Published in 1800, this English translation of a 1796 work presents his observations on Indian geography, language and culture.
