Early Tamil Epigraphy: From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century A.D. c7.1

c7.1

As I have mentioned in the Acknowledgements, several institutions and scholars have generously made available over the years a large number of photographs of estampages and inscribed objects for my study with permission to include them in this publication. However, due to constraint of space, I have been able to include only a much smaller number gratefully acknowledged below. The copyright for the illustrations is held by the concerned institutions and scholars whose permission will be necessary for any reproduction. Maps I and II, Palaeographic Charts (Nos. 1-8), Tracings of inscriptions (Figs. 8.1-8.54) and the drawings (Figs. 5.6, 5.10,5.11,5.15, 6.3 and 6.4) have been made by the author or with his collaboration and would require his permission for reproduction.
