James R. Ballantyne

James R. Ballantyne (1813-1864) was a Scottish Orientalist, from 1841 director of the Queen's College in Varanasi. He returned to England in 1861 where he was elected librarian of the India Office.

Ballantyne published grammars of Sanskrit, Hindi (2. Aufl. 1868), and Marathi, and published an edition of the "Laghukaumudi" of Varadaraja 1849-52 and the first part of the "Mahabhashya" of Patanjali in 1856, for the first time opening native Indian grammatical tradition to a wider European scholarly audience.
