A propos de cet article

Contents: I. Introduction: 1. Context. 2. Philip Angel: a biography. 3. History of the Deex Autaers. 4. Use and abuse of Philip Angel. 5. Epilogue. II. Deex: Autaers: 1.

This fifth volume of Dutch sources on South Asia consists of two parts. Part one traces the history of the manuscript and its maker, as well as the larger historical context in which it was assembled. The second part provides the reader with a transcription of the original manuscript and an annotated translation. (jacket).…
