Publisher's Synopsis
""Contributions to the History of Southern India, Part 1: Inscriptions"" is a book written by Gustav Salomon Oppert and published in 1882. The book is a detailed study of the inscriptions found in the southern part of India, covering the period from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD. The author, who was a German orientalist and linguist, examines the inscriptions from a historical, linguistic, and cultural perspective, providing insights into the social, political, and religious life of the people of southern India. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the inscriptions of the Cholas, Pandyas, and Cheras, and the second part dealing with the inscriptions of the Vijayanagara Empire.
