Gypsies appeared in Europe in great numbers in the 15th century. The term "Gypsy" evolved from their claim that they were Egyptian by descent. (It is now believed these itinerant Caucasoid peoples originated in India.) Who they were, what they were like, and how they lived in England are the focal points of George Borrow's 19th-century literary and anthropological classic LAVENGRO.
