Abraham Anquetil-Duperron

Abraham Hyacinthe Anquetil-Duperron (1731–1805) was a French Orientalist. He stayed in India for seven years (1755–61), where Parsi priests taught him Farsi, and translated the Avesta for him (it is probably not true that he mastered the Avestan language). He edited a French translation of that Farsi translation in 1771, the first printed publication of Zoroastrian texts. He also published Latin a translation of the Upanishads in 1804.
