Meer over het boek

Focusing on the contributions of John Marshall, this work highlights his unique role as an early English scholar of Indian antiquities rather than a trader or diplomat. The book encompasses various themes, including geographical notes, Hindu religion and philosophy, astrology, medical knowledge, folklore, and customs of both Hindus and Muslims. Marshall's observations provide valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of India during the late 17th century, making it a significant resource for those interested in Anglo-Indian history.
