". . . a provocative contribution to the history of early modern
encounters between Jesuits and learned guardians of Sanskriti and
Tamil traditions in South India, and also provides fascinating new
perspectives on the interactions between Catholic and Hindu
cultures. . . . This work should interest scholars who study
cross-cultural encounters and religious conversion in early modern
times, whether in India or in other parts of the world. It is also
itself a 'trope' that represents what is currently highly
fashionable within some circles of academia."

welcome addition...successfully raises important issues about
cultural dialogue and religious translation/transmission."

"The unquestionable scholarship of the author and her close reading
of voluminous primary-source materials make her analysis of
considerable interest to other researchers in the area and ought to
interest general readers as well...Zupanov does create an
interesting historic tapestry, employing many and varied cultural
threads and with as many layers of meaning as she can incorporate
into it."
