"Papers from the missionary J. Bosshardt from Kodakal and Paraperi, 1858-67"

Quarto format school exercise book, about 0.6 cm thick, containing documents copied by the same hand - presumably a collection of documents of importance for the writer, dated 1858-1867. Condition: good. Some of the material is about the BM’s Paraperi land (copies of letters from the Inspector in Basel; minutes of the Codacal Presbyterium). Some reflect other aspects of missionary life in South India. The missionary collecting the documents was J. Bosshard, who seems to have considered resigning from the Mission, and this is also referred to in this collection. Many of the documents are his "file copies" of letters he himself had written. Some documents in English, some in Malayalam, the majority in German.
