The Bibliotheca Malabarica is an annotated catalogue of the library of Tamil manuscripts collected by the German Lutheran missionary, Bartholomaus Ziegenbalg, during his first two years in India (1706-1708). The third section of this catalogue only will be considered here, with 119 entries covering works of Hindu and Jaina provenance. While Ziegenbalg's collection was almost entirely dispersed within a decade of his early death in 1719, his catalogue provides a fascinating insight into Tamil literary works in wide circulation on the eve of colonialism. The introduction in this volume assesses the character of Ziegenbalg's library in the context of the sources from which he obtained manuscripts. Will Sweetman's translation is then augmented by annotations which identify the works in the collection and comment on Ziegenbalg's characterisation of the texts and use of them in his own writings. It identifies for the first time one text-the Tirikala cakkaram-which was formative for Ziegenbalg's view of Hinduism from his earliest letters from India to his magnum opus, the Genealogia der malabarischen Gotter (1713). A concluding chapter considers other Tamil works mentioned in Ziegenbalg's writings after 1708.
