Ce livre est une étude des cinq œuvres brèves de Tirumaṅkai Āḻvar, un poète tamoul du viiie siècle de tradition vishnouïte, qui s’est consacré à la littérature après avoir interrompu une carrière militaire en Inde du Sud. L’ouvrage contient, pour chacune de ces œuvres, l’original tamoul présenté suivant les règles de la métrique, une transcription indiquant la séparation des mots selon le sens, ainsi qu’une traduction anglaise s’efforçant d’être, autant que faire se peut, fidèle à l’original tamoul. Cette dernière est accompagnée de copieuses notes sur des questions grammaticales ou textuelles. L’introduction du volume étudie les tentatives de la part du poète de développer sa technique littéraire par l’adaptation d’un grand nombre de procédés poétiques, de techniques et de structures empruntés à la tradition tamoule antérieure. On s’intéresse notamment à la prosodie (un domaine encore fort peu étudié) et à l’adaptation de motifs littéraires tamouls. L’ouvrage se termine par un glossaire analytique complet, ainsi que par un certain nombre d’appendices traitant de formes grammaticales typiques du tamoul intermédiaire (Middle Tamil). Un premier appendice comprend la traduction sans annotation des cinq œuvres brèves de Tirumaṅkai, dans un style qui cherche à s’approcher au plus près du ton de l’Āḻvar ; un autre appendice, consacré à la prosodie, examine l’adaptation d’une unité métrique tamoule spécifique.

This book, which is published in two volumes, contains most of the papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on Early Literature in New Indo-Aryan Languages, held at Venice in 1997. They are grouped in part by geographical area, in part by subject matter, in a crossing of boundaries that sharpens the exchange between the two. In fact, they share a common feature which goes beyond regional specificities. This consists of the dialectical relationship between two elements, such as popular devotion as opposed to erudite religious faith, and their respective literary outputs ; or the Muslim and Hindu religions, modified by Hindu-Muslim synthesis, and the revival of the more specifically Hindu spirit. From another point of view, where papers have been grouped according to topic, those imbued with religious sentiment may be read in contrast with those in which religious sentiment is on a fundamentally aesthetic level.
