Description

If you are looking for a unique and valuable edition of the Tamil Bible, you might be interested in the Jaffna translation. This version was produced in 1850 by a team of scholars from Jaffna, a region in northern Sri Lanka. The translation was mainly done by Peter Percival, a British missionary, and Arumuka Navalar, a Tamil scholar and reformer. The Jaffna translation is notable for its use of classical Tamil and its incorporation of Hindu cultural elements. It is also one of the earliest translations of the Bible into an Asian language. However, this version was largely rejected by Tamil Protestants and later replaced by the Union Version in 1871. Therefore, the Jaffna translation is very rare and hard to find today. It is a precious piece of history and literature that reflects the diversity and richness of the Tamil language and culture. If you are a collector, a scholar, or a lover of the Bible, you will surely appreciate the Jaffna translation.
