About The Book: This book delves into a wide array of subjects, encompassing the Kanarese language and its regional context, the Jaina period up to 1160, Jaina literature spanning until 1600, the emergence of Lingayatism in 1160, the contributions of Lingayat writers until 1600, the ascent of Vaishnava literature from 1440 to 1600, Kanarese literature during the 17th and 18th centuries, the modern era in the 19th century, noteworthy characteristics defining Kanarese literature, the pivotal figures among Kanarese grammarians, and the presence of Sanskrit writers in the Kanarese region. This exploration sheds light on the formerly undiscovered realm of Kanarese literature, tracing its roots back to the early Christian era. Approximately fifty years ago, Kanarese literature remained largely uncharted territory. Pioneering scholars of that era, including German missionaries, laid the groundwork for its investigation, primarily relying on inscriptions and manuscripts. This book, a fusion of earlier missionary efforts and contemporary research, casts an illuminating spotlight on the extensive history of Kanarese literature, reaching back to the early Christian era.
