John Leyden

    Dr. John Leyden, a Scottish indologist, initially pursued divinity studies and was licensed to preach. However, his true passion lay in the study of Eastern languages, sparked by an introduction to Dr. Alexander Murray. Leyden also contributed to Walter Scott's collection of materials for his work, indicating an early interest in folklore and historical texts.
