Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction. 1. The ondaatjes of Colombo and their world. 2. Nicolaas Ondaatje at the cape. 3. Letters, gifts, and slaves. 4. How a letter was written. II. The letters: 5. Introduction to the letters. 6. Translation. 7. Transcription. Bibliography. Index. In 1728, the Ceylonese Chettiyar Nicolaas Ondaatje was sent into exile to the Cape of Good hope where he died in 1737, only a few months before the end of his term. All these years Nicolaas Ondaatje kept in contact with his family and friends in Ceylon through letters in Tamil, Dutch and Sinhala. His own letters are lost but those he received have been preserved. These letters give an intimate picture of an early eighteenth-century elite Chettiyar community in Ceylon employed by the Dutch East India Company. By contrast at the Cape Nicolaas Ondaatje found himself in the company of the Free Blacks at the very bottom of the social ladder. Though as a convict he was allowed to move about freely, Ondaatje had to provide his won source of income, making a modest living, first as a doctor and trader and later as a home teacher. In the letters which are kept in the archive in cape town, we have chanced upon a classic case of subaltern history. Here we have a protagonist who has been denied a voice by the quirk of the availability of historical documents, but whose situation comes through in the concern his family and friends show for him in exile thousands of miles away, over nine long years. The letters give an excellent picture of the loyalty of the Chettiyars to one of their own, of their unfailing Christian faith, and of their meticulous account keeping. That we will never know what Nicolaas Ondaatje did to deserve his long exile or how he died shortly before his term ended makes his life history all the more poignant. (jacket). …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Asoka Inscriptions: Analysing a Corpus attempts a textual and literary analysis of the inscriptions of Asokathe oldest in Indiaand their relationship as a corpus. Unique in both content and format, the inscriptions primarily engage with ideas of good kingship and dhamma rather than with donations made or the celebration of territorial conquests, the usual topics of later inscriptions. They are also characterized by a division that determined their distribution across the realm: the Rock Edict Series (consisting of fourteen edicts) was intended for people living near the borders of Asoka's realm while the Pillar Edict Series (six in number) was meant for people living at the empire's centre. Meant to be part of a project to commemorate Asoka, the inscriptions also testify to the existence of an epistolary tradition in the subcontinent, as the texts themselves were selected by later Maurya kings from the letters sent by Asoka to his representatives across the empire. A detailed study of the texts also allows a fresh look at many old problems such as those concerning the monument commemorating the Buddha's birth, mentioned in the Lumbini inscription, while raising new questions like the apparently random order of the individual edicts of the Rock Edict Series in Erragudi, which differs significantly from those at other sites.…
