Book Description
Excerpt from Solomon Caesar Malan, D. D: Memorials of His Life and Writings The task of compiling a biography may be approached under variable conditions of motive and object; it may be modified by the relation of the subject to the writer, by the intrinsic merit and incidental attractiveness of the character to be pourtrayed, by the wealth or poverty of materials at command. In the present case filial veneration desired that the memory of a distinguished father should not pass away without some effort to preserve its outlines from oblivion. Dr. Malan's claim to distinction rests mainly upon his pre-eminence as an Oriental scholar. In him profound linguistic ability was combined with.am insatiable eagerness for knowledge, an energy of resource for obtaining it, and indefatigable zeal for literary labour. The fundamental principle underlying his life-work was an unfaltering faith in the Divine Truth of the Bible. This prompted in him a stern unflinching spirit of resistance against Opinions that aimed at undermining the confidence of believers. A long catalogue of learned works was the outcome of his labours in defence of the Faith. As Priest and Pastor he administered the parish of Broadwindsor during forty years. As an artist he was gifted with genius of a high order, and in his travels in Europe and Asia he made con stant use of pencil and brush for sketching places and objects of interest.

Book Description
Though recognized in the latter part of the 19th century as "the greatest Orientalist in Britain," the Geneva-born Anglican priest, Solomon Caesar Malan (1812–1894) was such an extraordinary person that he has defied any scholarly person to write a critical account of his life and works. Consequently, almost no one has written anything critically appreciative and insightful about him since his death. A polymath with extraordinary talent for languages and sketching, among other specialized skills, Malan focused much of his life on assessing biblical translations in ancient Middle Eastern and East Asian languages, while also producing English translations of alternative expressions of Christianity found in north Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. A life-long interest of his was comparing the proverbs of his name-sake, King Solomon, with proverbial wisdom from as many cultures and languages as he could find. That interest culminated in a three-volume work that enshrined his achievements realized through his capacities as a hyperpolyglot within the context of a search for shared wisdom across many cultures. In this volume, produced by a team of collaborators from a wide range of scholarly interests and varying expertise, we have presented a critically assessed account of the life and key works produced by Solomon Caesar Malan. In fact, it is the first work of its kind on Malan written since his death, now having occurred more than 125 years ago. Readers will journey through an itinerary that starts in Geneva before it became part of Switzerland, moves to Great Britain, and ultimately into one of the colleges in Oxford. Subsequently, it moves us into an exploration of the journey of his life that involved a huge range of places, people, and languages: starting in Calcutta, touching unusual figures from Hungary, India, and China. Those seminal experiences led Malan into studies of languages related to even more distant cultural worlds in Central, Southeastern, and East Asia. The historians among us have delved into Malan’s life in Calcutta, Geneva, and Dorsetshire, while others have explored the nature of his hyperpolyglossia, and tested the quality of his understanding of ancient literature in classical languages that include Chinese, Manchurian, Sanskrit and Tibetan. Notably, Malan’s personal library was so unique, that when he donated it to his alma mater at Oxford University, it became one of the major bibliographic precedents for what is now the Oriental Division in the Bodleian Libraries. Yet, when one follows the twists and turns of his life’s journey, and the surprises that occur from documenting the history and content of the Malan Library as well as critically analysing aspects of his opus magnum, Original Notes on the Book of Proverbs (1889–1893), we believe both general readers and scholarly specialists will be entranced.

Book Description
This book traces its subject from the death of Aurunzib to the so-called Indian Mutiny. The history of India since 1498 is of a tremendous confrontation of cultures and religions.
