Supplied note:
"The Basel Evangelical Mission, which operated in India in the Kannada and Malayalam languages, invested a lot of effort in communications in the 19th century. It was, for instance, among the first missionary societies to use photography (in India from the late 1850s--see the web site with historical photographs in the Basel Mission archive - www.bmpix.org). Its large body of written reports produced in India for its headquarters in Basel (about 30,000 of them, 1834-1913) are, however, opaque for many people, since they are in German. In an effort to overcome this problem, even if only on a small scale, two sets of English translations are now available from the Basel Mission's early reports from Karnataka, made by Jennifer and Paul Jenkins:
(a) 'Journeys and Encounters. Religion, Society and the Basel Mission in North Karnataka 1837-1852' 250 pp. These texts were selected to offer a broad view of the kind of materials available in these reports, but pay especial attention to missionary contacts with organised Hinduism, especially organised Lingayatism.
(b) 'A missionary journey from Mangalore to Subramanya in 1840--one journey from two points of view', a 45-pp. translation of parallel reports written by Herrmann Moegling and Gottfried Weigle on a journey which also included a visit to Dharmastalla.
"Journeys and Encounters" is available online - [at the URL below] "A Missionary Journey..." can be obtained online from (paul.jenkins--at--gmx.ch).
Both sets of translations can also be obtained as CDRom from Paul Jenkins. In India they are available from the Archive, Karnataka Theological College, Balmatta, 575 001 Mangalore. - pj."
