DESCRIPTION:Emy Merin Joy\n«The Paravur Dialogues: Understanding the Firs
 t Interreligious Dialogues in Early Modern Kerala»\n\nMy presentation int
 ends to introduce an eighteenth-century Garshuni Malayalam manuscript\, fo
 und in St Joseph’s CMI Monastery Mannanam (MS Mannanam Syr. 74 = MS MalG
 ar 2)\, Kerala\, India\, which contains various polemical dialogues and tr
 eatises. The first work in the manuscript\, which is called the Paravur Di
 alogues contains five dialogues between a certain Jewish Rabbi Jacob\, a J
 ew\, a Pagan (Hindu)\, a Christian and a Muslim\, on various theological t
 opics. The context of this debate is set in the Paravur Synagogue in centr
 al Kerala\, which was originally believed to have been built in 1616 and d
 estroyed and rebuilt several times later. The manuscript is a treasured pi
 ece of writing attributed to the legendary indigenous bishop\, Joseph Kari
 attil (1735/42- 1786) which is proven wrong through my research. The Dialo
 gues must have been the brainchild of a Catalan Jesuit priest\, Francisco 
 Roz S.J (1599-1624)\, who was the first European Archbishop of the diocese
  of Angamale-Cranganore. I will present a brief context of the Dialogues\,
  debates on the question of dating and authorship and a short historical b
 ackground of the Jesuit mission in Kerala in the early modern period.
