The First Book of Virgil's Aeneid, Translated into the Bengalee Language - Originally printed at the Mission Press, Serampore, 1810  (Bengali, Paperback, H. Sargent, Esq.)

In 1806, Henry Sargent, a student at Fort William College in Calcutta, translated the first four books of Virgil's epic Aeneid from Latin to Bengali. Four years later, the translation of the first book was published by the Mission Press at Serampore. The book then disappeared from circulation, though stray references to it were found in contemporary accounts and catalogues. In 2010, a copy of the book was found in the library of Regent's Park College, Oxford. Jadapur University Press is proud to reprint this work, over two centuries after it's first publication. This edition contains a facsimile edition of the book, along with a detailed critical apparatus, which includes a trilingual rendition of the text. The cover of this edition is a facsimile of the original cover of 1810.
