This is a translation of the Hindu law books written about the sixth century CE by Narada and Brihaspati. These are later works than the other legal writings in the Sacred Books of the East series, such as The Laws of Manu (SBE25), The Institutes of Vishnu (SBE07), Sacred Laws of the Aryas, Part I (SBE02), and Sacred Laws of the Aryas, Part II (SBE14), all composed prior to 200 BCE at the latest. According to Jolly, the courtroom procedure discussed here is very similar to that described in the earliest known Hindu drama, The Little Clay Cart. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)
About the Author
Professor Julius Jolly (December 28, 1849 - April 24, 1932) was a German scholar and translator of Indian law and medicine.
Jolly was born in Heidelberg, the son of physicist Philipp Johann Gustav von Jolly (1809-1884), and studied comparative linguistics, Sanskrit, and Iranian languages in Berlin and Leipzig. His doctoral thesis was Die Moduslehre in den alt-iranischen Dialekten ("Moods in Ancient Iranian Dialects"). Jolly became a Professor in the University of Wurzburg in 1877, in the fields of comparative linguistics and Sanskrit. In 1882-1883 he visited India as Tagore professor of law, Calcutta, where he gave twelve lectures later published as Outlines of an History of the Hindu Law of Partition, Inheritance and Adoption (1885).
