32 JARL CHARPENTIER
Fairly well-known are the works of Bishop MedlycoTT
India and the Apostle Thomas (London 1905), of G. Milne
Rae The Syrian Church in India (London 1892) as well as the
sagacious treatise by Father J. dahlmann S. J. called Die
Thomas-Legende und die ältesten historischen Beziehungen des
Christentums zum fernen Osten im Lichte der indischen
Altertumskunde (Freiburg i. Br. 1912). There is further the work
by W. J. Richards The Indian Christians of St. Thomas
(London 1908) as well as that by a Lutheran clergyman K.
Heck with the title Hat der heilige Apostel Thomas in Indien
das Evangelium gepredigt? Eine historische Untersuchung (1911)
which does scarcely betray any intimate acquaintance with its
subject. A pamphlet by Father A. VÄTH S. J. called Der heilige
Thomas, Apostel Indiens (Aachen 1918) is known to me only
through the Orientalistische Lit. Zeitung XXV, 126. Also the
book of Monseigneur Zaleski Les origins du Christianisme
aux Indes (Mangalore 1915) I know only by reference. In
this connection should be mentioned the chapter dealing with
St. Thomas in the well-known book Indien und das Christentum
by the låte lamented Professor Garbe (Tübingen 1914) which
is found on p. 128 sqq. It has often been looked upon as
decisively proving the impossibility of the Indian apostolate of
St. Thomas and as a masterpiece of historical criticism. As a
matter of fact it betrays its author’s very slight knowledge of
the subject and his proneness towards a sort of shallow
hyper-criticism which are both alike astonishing in a scholar otherwise
as well-read and as careful as was Garbe.
Of chapters and passages in historical or ethnographical
works on India dealing with St. Thomas and his Christians we
ought above all to mention G. T. MACKENZIE’S History of
Christianity in Travancore published in the Travancore State
Manual by V. N. Aiya, II, 135—223 (Trivandrum 1906).
Further we have W. W. HUNTER The Indian Empire: its People,
History, and Products, 2nd ed. (London 1886), p. 229 sqq.;
V. A. Smith Early History of India, 3d ed. (Oxford 1914), pp.
231 sqq., 245 sqq. and The Oxford History of India (Oxford
1919), p. 126; Rai’SON in Cambridge History of India I
(Cambridge 1922), 578 sqq., as well as L. K. AnantHA KRISHNA
