The Circulation of Medical Knowledge through Tamil Manuscripts in Early Modern Paris, Halle, Copenhagen, and London (2016)
The Tamil littoral occupies a very small space in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean. The northern segment of the Coromandel Coast was famous for the production of cotton and the export of textiles. The southern portion, sometimes called the Pearl Fishery Coast, was well known for its pearl banks and the export of chanks and pearls through Asian maritime trading networks. The European trading in the region and the religious activities of the missionaries in the early modern age resulted in the exchange of scientific knowledge. The medical encounter, in particular, and Euro-Tamil relations, more broadly, witnessed extraordinary and unprecedented innovations between 1700 and 1857.
