The Law Code of Manu by Patrick Olivelle
The Law Code of Manu is the most authoritative and best-known legal text of ancient India. A seminal Hindu work, it is important for its classic description of the many social institutions that have come to be identified with Indian society. Patrick Olivelle's translation is based on his critically edited text.Patrick Olivelle is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.

President of the American Oriental Society in 2004 and President in 2005. He is the editor of A Dharma Reader: Classical Indian Law (Columbia University Press, 2016). Donald R. Davis is Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. His current research broadens his interest in the practice of Hindu law in historical perspective, using materials beyond the Dharmasastra texts and from many parts of medieval India.
