| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Voyage to the East Indies" by a S. Bartholomaeo Paulinus is a travel account written in the late 18th century. Based on a long residence in southern India, it blends geography, ethnography, linguistics, natural history, and colonial politics, with particular focus on the Coromandel and Malabar coasts. The narrative dwells on cities, rivers, trade, religions, and missionary work, while carefully correcting European misunderstandings of local languages and place-names. Readers interested in South Indian cultures and the early modern contest among European powers will find it especially informative. The opening of the work follows the author’s arrival at Puduceri (Pondicherry): a perilous surf landing, a vivid contrast of seasons on India’s east and west coasts shaped by the Ghats, and first lodgings among Capuchins and French missionaries. He sketches the city’s fortifications, segregated quarters, and garrison, notes the role of sepoys and the rise of Hyder Ali, and criticizes French commerce that fed English strength; he also records encounters with white ants that ruin his belongings and a centipede “ear” incident cured by a missionary remedy. A visit to the seminary at Virapatnam reveals a tightly organized regimen of study, trades, and Latin, followed by a public procession of the sacred ox (Apis) and a discussion linking Indian cow/ox symbolism with Egyptian parallels; he remarks on local housing, church jurisdictions, and the entanglement of Capuchins, former Jesuits, and Missions Étrangères. He then corrects European place-names with etymologies, and broadens into a survey tying ancient and modern geographies, the rise of Mughal power, English revenues and monopolies, and concise portraits of Marava, Tanjore, and Madura—their rivers (Cavèri and Coleroon), crops, ports, and the political struggles that drew in European companies and their allies.
