For the first time, the work "Genealogy of the South Indian
Deities" of the first Protestant missionary to India, Bartholomaeus
Ziegenbalg (1682-1719), is made accessible to an English
readership. Originally published in 1713, the text reveals
Ziegenbalg's ethos in the emerging European Enlightenment and his
willingness to learn from the South Indians. The text contains the
original voices of knowledgeable South Indians from various
religious backgrounds and presents South India in a vivid, direct
and unfiltered way. In this volume Daniel Jeyaraj edits and
presents the German original in an English translation. This is
followed by a detailed textual analysis, a glossary and an
appendix. This book is invaluable for anyone interested in reliable
information about the interactions of Europeans with Hindu and
Tamil religion and culture.
