Omtale

Published in 1822, this grammar of high Tamil, first prepared in 1730, allows students to read the dialect's ancient literature. C. G. Beschi (1680–1747) was a brilliant and instinctive linguist and scholar, himself a composer of Tamil poetry, and his work remains important for its sensitivity to the classical language.
