The Laws of Manu: With Extracts from Seven Commentaries

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Laws of Manu (1886), also known as the Manusmriti, is volume XXV of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This volume, translated by Georg Bühler, is considered the oldest Hindu law text and the basis for Hindu law code. This text is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.
