Where it came from
Published in 1992 by Franz Steiner Verlag, this comprehensive word index was compiled by Thomas Lehmann to serve as a vital linguistic tool for scholars of early Tamil literature. It represents a significant academic effort to systematize the vocabulary of the Caṅkam corpus, which consists of the earliest known body of classical Tamil poetry dating roughly between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE.
The design of the work reflects the meticulous standards of German Indological publishing. Lehmann structured the index to aid researchers in parsing the complex morphology and archaic syntax of classical Tamil, facilitating cross-referential studies of the Eṭṭuttokai and Pattuppāṭṭu anthologies. Upon its release, the volume was well-received within the academic community for providing an essential, structured gateway into a challenging and ancient literary tradition.
