A Grammar of the High Dialect of the Tamil Language, Termed Shen-Tamil: To Which

Description: A Grammar of the High Dialect of the Tamil Language, Termed Shen-Tamil by C.G. Beschi, B.G. Babington Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Published in 1822, this grammar of high Tamil, first prepared in 1730, allows students to read the dialects ancient literature. C. G. Beschi (1680–1747) was a brilliant and instinctive linguist and scholar, himself a composer of Tamil poetry, and his work remains important for its sensitivity to the classical language. Publisher Description Published in 1822, but completed in manuscript form almost 100 years earlier, this work was designed to accompany Beschis earlier Grammar of Common Tamil. While the latter enabled the student to speak the language, this reissue offers a way into reading Tamils classical literature with its complexity of thought and technique. One of the earliest and most distinguished pioneers in the field of Tamil studies, C. G. Beschi (1680–1747) was a Jesuit missionary in Madura, as well as a translator and composer of Tamil poetry. Since this treatise was not previously formally printed, this translation by B. G. Babington (1794–1866), from the original Latin, is based on a collation of texts, transcriptions and copies. In his preface, Babington outlines errata and problems stemming from this process, and makes explanatory notes where necessary. The work nevertheless remains a groundbreaking study of an ancient and complex language by a sensitive and thorough scholar and a gifted translator.
