DESCRIPTION:Emy Merin Joy\n„The Paravur Dialogues: Understanding the Fir
 st Interreligious Dialogues in Early Modern Kerala“\n\nMy presentation i
 ntends to introduce an eighteenth-century Garshuni Malayalam manuscript\, 
 found in St Joseph’s CMI Monastery Mannanam (MS Mannanam Syr. 74 = MS Ma
 lGar 2)\, Kerala\, India\, which contains various polemical dialogues and 
 treatises. The first work in the manuscript\, which is called the Paravur 
 Dialogues contains five dialogues between a certain Jewish Rabbi Jacob\, a
  Jew\, a Pagan (Hindu)\, a Christian and a Muslim\, on various theological
  topics. The context of this debate is set in the Paravur Synagogue in cen
 tral Kerala\, which was originally believed to have been built in 1616 and
  destroyed and rebuilt several times later. The manuscript is a treasured 
 piece of writing attributed to the legendary indigenous bishop\, Joseph Ka
 riattil (1735/42- 1786) which is proven wrong through my research. The Dia
 logues must have been the brainchild of a Catalan Jesuit priest\, Francisc
 o Roz S.J (1599-1624)\, who was the first European Archbishop of the dioce
 se of Angamale-Cranganore. I will present a brief context of the Dialogues
 \, debates on the question of dating and authorship and a short historical
  background of the Jesuit mission in Kerala in the early modern period.
