Rudolf Hoernle) Wikipedia, viewed 15 April 2016 (Augustus Frederic Rudolf Hoernlé (often Hoernle), CIE (1841-1918) was a German-British Orientalist. He was born in Secundra, Agra, British India on the 14th November 1841. He attended school in Switzerland, after completing theological studies in Schönthal and the University of Basle, later moving to London and studying Sanskrit. He returned to India in 1865, teaching first at the Benares Hindu University and later at the University of Calcutta. Eventually, Hoernlé was to lead the Asiatic Society of Bengal and retire to Oxford. He spent nearly his entire working life engaged in the study of Indo-Aryan languages and is perhaps best known for his decipherment of the Bower Manuscript collected by Hamilton Bower in Chinese Turkestan. He was an early scholar of Khotanese.) |
