Attributed to Manu, the progenitor of humanity in Hindu theology, it was compiled in its final form around 200 BCE. It is a collection of laws governing individuals, communities and nations and is an important (and somewhat controversial) source of information about the caste system and the status of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work achieved its international prominence through Jones  1746-1794], the able judge of the High Court of Calcutta and brilliant linguist, who produced the first complete English translation.
