Franz Bopp (1791-1867)
In the spring of 1868, Cornell's first President, Andrew Dickson White,
traveled to Europe with a long list of books and apparatus he wanted to
bring back to the university. During this expedition, White acquired the
library of Franz Bopp, a famous German Indologist and Sanskritist. Faculty
who taught literature, language, history, anthropology, Sanskrit, and
linguistics all used this valuable collection, which eventually gave rise
to a rapidly growing interest in South Asian studies.
