The Gospel According to St. John in Sanskrit-English-German-Latin In April 2008, I bought a very precious old translation of the New Testament from Greek into Sanskrit, published as second edition in the year 1851. It seems to be the translation made by William Carey and Bengali Sanskritists in 1808: The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in Sanscrit. Translated from the Greek by the Calcutta Baptist Missionaries with native assistants.
