Abstract

On a trip to South India in the early 1850s, the German missionary Karl Graul collected a library of Tamil books. His library contains some of the first books that Tamils edited and published for Tamil audiences. This article analyses the Shaiva and Vaishnava works in this collection, arguing that in this early period of Tamil publishing, Tamil Hindus turned to print in part to counter Christian evangelisation. They edited and published texts previously transmitted on manuscripts, in order to build a corpus of Shaiva and Vaishnava printed books that would challenge the Christian monopoly of Tamil print. The article focuses on the editing activities and institutional affiliations of Tamil Shaiva editors, most importantly the prominent scholar Vedagiri Mudaliyar.

早期印度教宗派印刷书籍:泰米尔图书馆分析
在19世纪50年代初的一次南印度之旅中,德国传教士卡尔·格劳尔收集了一个泰米尔书籍图书馆。他的图书馆里有一些泰米尔人为泰米尔人编辑出版的首批书籍。本文分析了这本书集中的Shaiva和Vaishnava的作品,认为在泰米尔出版的早期,泰米尔印度教徒转向印刷,部分原因是为了反对基督教福音派。他们编辑并出版了以前通过手稿传播的文本,以建立一个Shaiva和Vaishnava印刷书籍的语料库,挑战基督教对泰米尔印刷的垄断。这篇文章关注的是泰米尔Shaiva编辑的编辑活动和机构隶属关系,最重要的是著名学者Vedagiri Mudaliyar。
