George Thibaut
George Thibaut was a German Indologist and scholar of Sanskrit, known for his translations of important Hindu texts. He is most recognized for translating parts of the "Vedānta-Sūtras" and "The Śatapatha Brāhmana" as part of the Sacred Books of the East series, edited by Max Müller. Thibaut's work contributed to the understanding of Indian philosophy and ancient religious texts in the West. His detailed and scholarly approach helped bridge the cultural and intellectual gap between Europe and South Asia during the 19th century.
