19pp. Estratto da "ORIENTALIA CHRISTIANA PERIODICA" 76 (2010). Punto metallico --- According to several ancient Western sources, including the Roman Martyrology, St. Thomas the Apostle died a martyr in the city of Calamina in India. But Indian geography or history does not know any city by this name. In the new Barrington Atlas (2000), however, Calamina is shown as a city on the Bay of Bengal, while in the latest edition of the Martyrologium Romanum (2001) there is no more mention of Calamina. Calamina has long been a riddle. After a historical and philological enquiry the article examines critically the various solutions proposed. It resolves the riddle by showing that Calamina is the foreign form of the Tamil name for the Chola kingdom not city Cholamandalam, which survives as Choromandel.
