Summary

DescriptionTranqebar bible 1713.JPG

English: First page of a Tamil bible (new testament) printed in Tranquebar/Tharangambadi by, Ziegenbalg. The Tranqebar press was established in 1712. The Tamil alphabet types were made in Germany by Ziegenbalg's friends. The Pica sized types were bulky, "missing some letters." And were not carved properly.The original printer Jonas Finck died on the——journey——to India. So Ziegenbalg made some new types in a newly constructed type foundry in Tranqebar. With a mixture of types the "resulting work was uneven."
