CHAPTER XXIX.

FATHER TIEFFENTHALER, FATHER GAUBIL AND
ANQUETIL DU PERRON.

Joseph Tieffenthaler was a Jesuit Father, born at Botzen about 1715.¹ In
1743 he arrived in Goa, and lived in India for 42 years. In 1759 he entered into
correspondence with the famous scholar Anquetil du Perron, who was then at
Surat. Tieffenthaler occupied himself with studies on natural history, religion
and geography, and in 1773 his geographical material first came to Europe. In
1776 his three maps arrived through the assistance of M. Bertin, in the hands of
Anquetil du Perron who was then in Paris, where he published an article on
these maps, which was reprinted in 1777.² In 1784 Anquetil du Perron published,
on one sheet, the maps of Tieffenthaler under the title: Carte générale du cours du
Gange et du Gagra. The parts of this map which are of special interest to us have
a short time ago been re-published by M. Charles Eudes Bonin,³ who says that
the original map or maps were probably drawn by a Hindu and presented to one of
the great Moguls, probably Akbar (1556—1605). These maps or copies of them
came into the hands of Tieffenthaler and afterwards to Anquetil du Perron.
In the German edition of Tieffenthaler's, Anquetil du Perron's and Rennell's
work,⁴ the editor, Bernoulli, says, that Tieffenthaler's work to a great extent
is taken from Ain-i-Akbari, to which important work Professor Sprengel had
directed the attention of the German scholars.⁵ Tieffenthaler's work is therefore
