Book Description
The return of a saint's body to its rightful resting place was an event of civic and spiritual significance retold in Medieval sources and substantiated by artistic commissions. Legends of Saint Thomas Apostle, for instance, claimed that the martyred saint had been miraculously transported from India to Italy during the thirteenth century. However, Saint Thomas's purported resting place in Ortona, Italy did not become a major stopping point on pilgrimage or exploration routes, nor did this event punctuate frescoed life cycles or become a subject for Renaissance altarpieces as one would expect. Instead, the site of the apostle's burial in Chennai, India has flourished as a terminus of religious pilgrimage, where a multifaceted visual tradition emerged, and where a vibrant local cult of 'Thomas Christians' remains to this day. An unlikely destination on the edge of the 'known' world thus became a surprising source of early modern Christian piety. By studying the art and texts associated with this little-known cult, this book disrupts assumptions about how knowledge of Asia took shape during the Renaissance and challenges art historical paradigms in which art was crafted by locals merely to be exported, collected, and consumed by curious European patrons. In so doing, Italy by Way of India proposes that we redefine the parameters of early modern visual culture to account for the ways that global mobility and the circulation of objects profoundly influence how cultures see and know each other as well as themselves.

Book Description
Excerpt from More About Italy and India Some sixty years ago candidates joining the Canadian Presbyterian Mission in the Malwa district of Central India (now the mission field of the United Church of Canada) were required to study, as one of their text books, a small treatise entitled Religion Weighed. It was written in Hindi and printed in the Nagari characters and had for its theme a Christian catechist addressing an imaginary audience of illiterate, unenlightened Hindus. He is speaking of the religion they profess and practice, showing its inadequacy and inability to give salvation to its devotees, and finally he proceeds to explain how the Christian religion can enlighten the soul and give full and free salvation to all, through faith in Jesus Christ who is the true Incarnation of God. As I was at that time quite ignorant concerning Hinduism and its many gods and goddesses it made an impression on my mind which has extended to this day. So, as I have still my old Hindi copy of the book, it has occurred to me that a free translation of it might interest some Canadian friends, helping them to realize something of the depth of ignorance and superstition into which Hinduism has sunk so many of India's people. You may think that some of the talks recorded here are crude and childish, but, in spite of the successful missionary work that has been carried on for the past one hundred years or so, I am convinced that among the 500,000 villages of India there are many thousands of people who are still untouched by the Christian message, and still unreached by the comparative few who are workers in that great harvest field.
