John Staples Harriott : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Staples Harriott John Staples Harriott (1780–1839) was a British army officer stationed in India, in the service of the East India Company. He came to acquire the ''Jami' al-tawarikh'' in its original manuscript. In his studies of the Roma people, he made an identification with a legend of Bahram Gur and the Luri to support a Romani presence in Sasanid Persia, now considered to be an unjustified and uncritical deduction that has persisted. == Life ==
He was a son of John Harriott. In 1796 he became a cadet with the East India Company, and became a lieutenant in the Bengal Presidency in 1798, captain in 1806, and major in 1817; lieutenant-colonel in 1823 and colonel in 1829. In 1803 he lost a leg at the Battle of Delhi, serving under Lord Lake.〔Dodwell and Miles, eds., ''Alphabetical list of the officers of the Bengal army; with the dates of their respective promotion, retirement, resignation, or death ... from ... 1760 to ... 1834 inclusive, corrected to ... 1837'' (1838), pp. 132–3; (archive.org. )〕 He lived much of his life in Calcutta,〔()〕 and ultimately reached the rank of Major General.〔()〕 In 1819–20 Harriott was collecting Romani vocabulary in Hampshire, England. Some of his results were read to the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1822. In 1830 a membership list for the Royal Asiatic Society gives his address as Mortlake.
