Soft cover. Condition: New. This volume brings together a broad range of scholarship on various aspects of multilingualism in South India and Sri Lanka, particularly with respect to written sources from the pre-modern world. Although the rich linguistic diversity of both regions has long been acknowledged, the consequences of this variety on linguistic and literary developments has rarely been explored, and never with the breadth that is offered here. Our contributions examine the nature and discursive functions of multilingualism, largely from the perspective of philology, in a diverse array of literary, linguistic, and cultural contexts. Some of the contributors bring their particular expertise to bear on the mutual influence of the Sanskrit and Tamil worlds, while others examine the complex linguistic, religious, and cultural negotiations evident in the literary products of authors writing in Arabic, Pali, Sinhala, Telugu, and Malayalam. Many of them also cite and translate paradigmatic examples. This volume is an important compendium of current research on multilingualism in South India and Sri Lanka and offers avenues for understanding the materials and the communities discussed herein in the context of larger conversations about multilingualism in the pre-modern world.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Giovanni Ciotti e Daniele Cuneo.Milano, 2021; br., pp. 308, cm 17x24. Il Mutto???yiram ('La novecentina dei tre re'), testo poetico tamil composto attorno alla metà del primo millennio, giunge fino a noi solo in forma frammentaria attraverso una rete di citazioni intessuta da opere di secoli posteriori. Le poesie ivi raccolte sono dedicate ai monarchi delle tre dinastie regali per antonomasia del sud dell'India (Pandya, Cola e Cera). Queste offrono dunque al commentatore avveduto uno squarcio sulla dimensione identitaria e politica dell'India meridionale del primo millennio. Il Mutto???yiram, inoltre, riveste notevole importanza nella storia della letteratura tamil, giacché è tra le prime opere del periodo successivo al Ca?kam (primi secoli della nostra era) in cui si mescolino tematiche guerresche (pu?am) e amorose (akam), prima più nettamente divise. Nella figura del monarca, soggetto indiscusso della raccolta, si incardinano e si saldano i due ideali della poetica tamil delle origini: l'eroe che rientra vincitore acclamato dalla folla dei sudditi e l'amato sempre irraggiungibile che turba il cuore delle fanciulle che assistono alla parata. Scettro, stendardo e lancia divengono così al contempo simboli del re vincitore e dell'amante nel pieno della sua virilità. L'opera, di cui rimangono solamente circa 130 versi, rappresenta l'ideale punto di ingresso per accedere alle incalcolabili ricchezze della letteratura in tamil classico. Libro.
