↑ vgl. N. Dew, S. 134 (“It comes as no surprise to note that Bernier's book was most frequently reprinted in English in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, when it was retranslated and republished within collections of 'classic' texts dealing with India—collections with titles like 'Constable's Oriental Miscellany'. Such series were designed to form a corpus of writings defined by the colonial territory: if a traveller's narrative had originally covered other countries as well (as was the case for Jean Thévenot and Tavernier, also retranslated at this time) these extra-Indian passages were cut.”)
