"Gebietsakten Indien Canara und Südmahratta 1862 / Letters and reports from Karnataka, 1862."
Description
In contrast to C-1.28 there is no section in this volume for the minutes and correspondence of the Basel Mission General Conference in India. There is also a separate section for the mission station in Honowar. The reports on Kurg are once more under the heading "Kurg", and not "Mercara", and continue to include materials from Anandapoor. Otherwise the volume is organised on the lines of C-1.26. The indexing is becoming more detailed, and a selection of particular captions from the section indexes is made here: Canara District Conference documents 17-23 seems to be an extended discussion of Basel Mission schools. A large number of Mangalore documents are explicitly about the Printing Press (Mangalore 3, 6, 23-5, 36, 61, 72-83), whereby Mangalore 83 is an extended inventary of materials and machinery. NB MS reports and letters from the printer Jakob Hunziger (Mangalore 1856-63) (including this inventory) were transcribed by Ms Dora Hörner in Jakob Hinziker aus Kanton Bern: Sein Leben in seinen Briefen und Berichten ca. 200 S., duplicated & privately published, Basel 1987.
