Dr. Richards has been a missionary of the Church Missionary Society in Travancore since 1871. He was at different times Vice-Principal of the Society's College at Cottayam, Principal of the Cambridge Nicholson Theological and Training Institution at the same place, and Missionary-in-Charge of at least three of the Mission districts. He was one of the revisers of the Malayalam Bible, the chief reviser of the Prayer Book in the same language, and for these important services Archbishop Temple conferred on him the Lambeth D.D. He was also editor of the Travancore Diocesan Gazette. He has well studied the past history of the ancient Syrian Church of Malabar, and has been intimately cognizant of its various divisions and developments in recent years. All this I can say of the author, and I could say more were it necessary. Of his book I have no authority to speak--it speaks for itself. It is obviously based on first-hand knowledge, and contains much important and curious information. These ancient Churches of the East deserve our sympathy, and I trust the present work may awaken much interest in the Syrians of Travancore. They were for centuries a light in a dark place--a feeble light it is true, but one which we cannot but believe that it pleased God to use. Eugene Stock. March 7th, 1908.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...to the locality of the town bearing that name at the present day. Excavations made within the last two years prove the antiquity of the site, and a coin of an Indian king, A.D. 160, and quite new, which was found with some Buddha relics in an ancient mound, seem to conclude the matter as to the great age of Sopara.1 What is the sum of all this? Surely it appears that Ophir was an emporium for Indian merchandise, that the Greek form of the name was identical with " Sopara," the name of the ancient capital and emporium for the western coast of India, in whose mountains are found all the undoubted Indian products introduced by the navy of ships of Tarshish. Hence we infer the identity of Ophir and Sopara. 1 See Sopara and Padana, Education Society's Press, Bombay. I (Some scholars think that Ophir was the name of a region in Southern and Western India.) India was thus well known to Palestine in the time of King Solomon. The Greeks from at least the second century of our era knew of the trade winds or monsoons. Our Blessed Lord was laid in the new tomb of Joseph enwrapped in a cnvSow, or Indian muslin. See later editions of Liddell and Scott's Great Lexicon There are further proofs of early European intercourse with India. In 1837 an iron box containing some hundreds of large gold coins, as fresh as if from the mint, were found in the bed of the Beypore river in Malabar. Col. W. H. Horsley, R.E., possessed several of these with the "image and superscription" of more than one Caesar. I had once the pleasure of handling them; the earliest bears date 2 B.C., the latest is about A.D. 50. Buried not later than A.D. 70 in the floor or vicinity of some rich merchant's house, the strong monsoon torrent washed away the bank of the...

St. Thomas and India by K. S. Mathew,Joseph Chacko Chennattuserry CMI,Antony Bungalowparambil CMI Pdf
In St. Thomas and India, renowned scholars trace the historical, religious, and cultural connections link India's Syrian Christian community with St. Thomas the Apostle. They use modern historiographical methods seek to corroborate the ancient tradition that tells of St. Thomas's missionary journey to India in the middle of the first century, in which he established seven churches in some of the major commercial centers of Malabar. From this first churches, Christianity spread throughout the region. St. Thomas in India also examines the legacy of the ancient Christianity on the Syrian community in India today, as well as exploring the various cultural and religious connections between the Syrian church in Indian and other ancient churches in the east.
The Forgotten Bishops by John Fenwick,John R. K. Fenwick Pdf
The Malabar Independent Syrian Church is the smallest of the jurisdictions into which the St Thomas Christian community is divided today. It has, however, played a crucial role in the development of the Syrian Churches, whose stories can not be told without it. The present work shows how the bishops of this tiny, one-Diocese Church, now largely forgotten, once stood at the centre of the events that shaped the present ecclesiastical situation.

The Prester John Legend between East and West During the Crusades by Ahmed M. A. Sheir Pdf
This book considers the history of the Prester John legend and its impact on the Crusades, investigating its entangled mythical history between East and West during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The present study thus responds to the still pressing need for a comprehensive historical investigation of the twelfth and thirteenth crusading history of the legend and its impact on the Muslim-Crusader encounters, examining various Latin, Arabic, Syriac, and Coptic accounts. It further reflects on new eastern aspects of the legend, presenting a new Arab scholarly view. This book first charts a pre-history of the legend in the late ancient Christian prophecy of the Last Emperor down to the emergence of the legend in the mid-twelfth century. Second, the work presents a historical discussion of the legend and its association with actual occurrences in the Far East and the Levant, analysing the legend history under the crusading crisis and the imperial papal schism in Europe. Meanwhile, the work considers the vague Prester John Letter addressed to Manuel I Komnenus, Byzantine Emperor, and its elaborate conception of a mythical eastern kingdom, revealing imaginative parallels on the wondrous East and legendary Eastern Christian kings in Arabic Muslim and Christian accounts of the Muslim geographer and cartographer al-Idrisi, the Coptic Abu al-Makarim and the Syriac Ibn al-'Ibri (Bar Hebraeus), among others. Moreover, the book examines how the legend impacted war and peace processes between the Ayyubids and the Crusaders during the Fifth Crusade against Egypt (1217-1221), revealing how it was mingled with Arabic and Eastern Christian prophecies at the time. The study concludes by investigating the perception of Prester John by the papal and European envoys to the Mongols in the thirteenth century, revealing how the legend was instrumentalised (and even weaponised) to establish a Latin-Mongol crusade through a parallel exploration of relevant Latin, Arabic and Syriac sources.
