Angelo de Gubernatis

Angelo de Gubernatis (1840 - 1913) was a distinguished Italian scholar, born at Turin. In 1863, he was appointed professor of Sanskrit at Florence. He was for a time smitten with the anarchist ideas of Bakunin, whose daughter he married, and resigned his chair, but soon returned to his professional labours. In 1891, he became professor of Sanskrit at Rome. His numerous writings witness to his unceasing industry and versatility, and deal with Orientalism, mythology, archæology, and general literature. His work "Zoological Mythology," published in English by Mr. Trübner, is not unknown to scholars among us.
