Comments/contents: This seminar on the Cankam anthology PatiRRuppattu will serve as a continuation of the readings of PuranaanuuRu and PuRaporuLveNpaamaalai last year. The aim is to read as much of this slightly later Ceera text as possible in order to produce a translation of what is actually there instead of what historians would like to read in it. This will serve as an example of the more general problem of exploiting an explicitly literary text as a historical source.
