The Cankam workshop is organized by Eva Wilden from August 29th to September 2nd in Pondicherry.

Since 2003 the EFEO has been conducting a project of locating, collecting and digitising the surviving manuscripts, on palm-leaf and paper, of the earliest Classical Tamil literature, the Cankam corpus, with the aim of producing critical editions with annotated translations.
This workshop will bring together, for the first time, all the editors working on the various texts in order to discuss issues of textual criticism on the basis of selected manuscript material.
