Nagavarma's Canarese Prosody

About the Book :- The author of this book has painstakingly prepared the text. This book is an analysis of the standard work in the Kannada works on poetics of the 12th century called the Kayalokanam, along with the text of the Karnataka Bhasha Bhushmam, both being the works of the poet Nagavarma. Included in this book is a Kannada grammar in Sanskrit sutras, expounding the Sabdasmriti, the first chapter of the Kayalokanam. This work is a reprint of the 1903 edition. It is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1875. The editor has edited the literature on different topic areas such as research and science, travel and expeditions, cooking and nutrition, medicine, and other genres. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. This book contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future. This book is immensely good in the context of the Kannada language. About the Author :- Reverend Ferdinand Kittel was a priest and indologist with the Basel Mission in south India and worked in Mangalore, Madikeri and Dharwad in Karnataka. He is most famous for his studies of the Kannada language and for producing a Kannada-English dictionary of about 70,000 words in 1894. He also composed numerous Kannada poems. Having a strong desire to learn Kannada, he undertook exhaustive studies learning the Kannada language, customs and local music. This earned rebuke from the Basel Mission, where he was already an outsider on account of his North German origin and academic education (the other missionaries were chiefly from southwest Germany and the lower/middle classes, though Gottfried Weigle had studied at Tübingen). This marginalised him by pushing him to a remote station in the Nilgiris and later confining him to the mission's press in Mangalore. He returned to Germany, but visited India again in his fifties to complete his dictionary, which by then had become for him an end in itself, and not merely an instrument secondary to missionary work.
