About the Book:
This book uncovers new dimensions of the intellectual contributions made by European powers—Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, English, and French East India Company officials, along with European missionaries—during the early modern period. Focusing on the Tamil coast, it explores the significant role these foreign entities played in the development of various scientific disciplines such as botany, chemistry, medicine, and earth and space sciences.
The author delves into the specific-historical context of the Tamil coast, offering a fresh perspective on the intersections between European knowledge systems and the local intellectual traditions. This work highlights how European engagement with the region contributed to the advancement of science and knowledge, often in collaboration with local scholars and institutions.
