By Will Sweetman, R. Ilakkuvan
The Bibliotheca Malabarica is an annotated catalogue of Tamil manuscripts gathered by means of the missionary Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg in the course of his first years in India (1706–1708). The 3rd element of this catalogue, inclusive of 119 entries overlaying works of Hindu and Jaina provenance, offers a desirable perception into Tamil literary works in extensive flow at the eve of colonialism. The creation assesses the nature of Ziegenbalg’s library within the context of the resources from which he got manuscripts. Will Sweetman’s translation is then augmented through annotations which establish the works and touch upon Ziegenbalg’s view of them. It identifies for the 1st time one textual content — the Tirikāla cakkaram — which used to be formative for Ziegenbalg’s view of Hinduism from his earliest letters from India to his magnum opus, the Genealogia der malabarischen Götter (1713). A concluding bankruptcy considers different Tamil works pointed out in Ziegenbalg’s writings after 1708.
