The article describes in its first part the published works of D. Galanos which appeared in Athens (7 vols. 1845-53) and in greater detail his unpublished manuscripts, which are kept at the National Library of Athens. Apart from an incomplete translation of the Bhdgavata Purdtiam and a few Sanskrit texts, the unpublished mss. contain materials collected for lexicographical work; some of Galanos' sources, as can be ascertained from his compilations, and a few etymologies are listed. Ms. No. 1841 which contains an almost completed koga is described in greater detail. The second part deals with the life of Galanos who was trained and educated to become a priest, first in Athens, then Mesolonghion, and on Patmos. During a visit to Constantinople he decided to go to India and for six years he taught Greek to children of Greek merchants, at Dacca. Apparently he fared well enough financially to retire to Benares after only six years of teaching, and devoted the rest of his life-from 1793 to 1833-to the study and translation of Sanskrit works. His last Will designated part of his acquired wealth for the founding of the National University of Athens.
