Hans Jørgensen (1886–1954) was the founder of Newar studies in the west. He published a Newar grammar and dictionary and studies of a number of newar texts.[1] He received his doctorate in 1911 at Kiel University in Sanskrit and worked at the Museum für Völkerkunde in Berlin until 1919.[1] In 1927 he traveled to England to consult Newar manuscripts at Cambridge with the support of the Carlsberg Foundation.[1]
