Set out like a classical grammar of the period, Peet begins with an introduction to the language and the orthography. The parts of speech are each treated, followed by an account of the syntax. One of the official languages of India, Malayalam is spoken by about 37 million individuals, mostly in the state of Kerala in the southern part of the nation. For the historian interested in the history of the study of Malayalam, this grammar is a special find. |

| Title: | The Gospel in the Stars | | Subtitle: | Or, Primeval Astronomy | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press |
| |
| By Joseph Seiss | | ISBN: | 978-1-59333-569-4 | | Availability: | In Print | | Publication Date: | 4/2008 | | From the 1910 edition | | Language: | English | | Format: | Hardback, Black, 6 x 9 in | | Pages: | 524 |
A whimsical consideration of the apologetic promise of the constellations, this series of lectures on the stars was an early endeavor to bring science and religion into dialogue. Seiss sets forth seventeen lectures on the heavens, beginning with a then-current understanding of astronomy and how the stars mark creation with signs of redemption and glory. Individual constellations are culled for theological significance, starting with the Zodiac and how the stars mark the time and the alphabet. Drawing fascinating conclusions on the pregnant symbolism of such diverse interpretations of Virgo as the Blessed Virgin, Sagittarius as the Triumphant Warrior, and Gemini as the union of Christ and Church, the reader can not avoid being drawn in. Beyond the Zodiac, Seiss examines the secrets of wisdom, primeval man, and the star of Bethlehem. In the supplemental matter in this fifth edition, he delves into the Southern Cross and references to the constellations in the Bible.
Joseph August Seiss (1823-1904) was a Lutheran pastor with Moravian roots. Educated at Gettysburg College and Seminary, he finally settled in Philadelphia. He served as president of the Pennsylvania Ministerium as well as the General Council of his church. His interests also included the translation of hymns.
