Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LANMAN, CHARLES ROCKWELL (1850- ) , American Sanskrit scholar, was born in
Norwich
 , Connecticut, on the 8th of July '85o. He graduated at Yale in '871, was a
graduate
  student there (1871-1873) under James Hadley and W. D. Whitney, and in Germany (1873-1876) studied Sanskrit under Weber and Roth and philology under Georg Curtius and Leskien. He was professor of Sanskrit at Johns
Hopkins
  University in '876-'88o and subsequently at Harvard University. In 1889 he travelled in India and bought for Harvard University Sanskrit and Prakrit books and manuscripts, which, with those subsequently bequeathed to the university by Fitzedward
Hall
 , make the most valuable collection of its kind in America, and made possible the Harvard Oriental
Series
 , edited by Professor Lanman. In 1879-1884 he was secretary and editor of the Transactions, and in 1889-1890 president of the American Philological Association, and in 1884-1894 he was corresponding secretary of the American Oriental Society, in 1897-1907 vice-president, and in 1907-1908 president. In the Harvard Oriental
Series
  he translated (vol. iv.) into English Rajagekhara's Karpura-Manjari (1900), a Prakrit drama, and (vols. vii. and viii.) revised and edited Whitney's
translation
  of, and notes on, the Atharva-Veda Samhitd (2 vols., 1905); he published A Sanskrit Reader, with Vocabulary and Notes (2 vols., '884-1888); and he wrote on early Hindu
pantheism and contributed the section on Brahmanism to Messages of the World's Religions.
