Benjamin Schultze (1689–1760) was one of the most prolific, but also most controversial missionaries of the Danish-English-Halle Mission, which worked in South India in the 18th and early 19th century. His conversation book »The Large And Renowned Town Of The English Nation In The East-Indies Upon The Coast Of Coromandel, Madras Or Fort St. George, [...]« was originally written in English and Telugu (in 1730). Later, in 1750, it appeared in two printed versions, one with a German, the other with an English text.
The workshop approaches this missionary source comprehensively from different disciplinary perspectives and explores the potential of a critical source-related publication.
It is organized within the DFG-funded long term project Modern India in German Archives (MIDA; www.projekt-mida.de) in cooperation with the Francke Foundations in Halle (www.francke-halle.de/en).
Registration via Dr. Tobias Delfs (tobias.delfs@hu-berlin.de) and Dr. Heike Liebau (heike.liebau@zmo.de).
