The history of Bible translations into the [[Tamil language]] commences with the arrival of [[Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg]] at Tranquebar in 1706.[1]

[[Johann Philipp Fabricius]], a German, revised Ziegenbalg's and others' work to produce the standard Tamil version. Seventy years after Fabricius, at the invitation of Peter Percival a [[Saiva]] scholar, [[Arumuka Navalar]], produced a "tentative" translation, which came to be known as the "Navalar version," and was largely rejected by Tamil Protestants.[2]

The Tamil Bible, 'Cardila', was printed in 1554 and made Tamil the first language into print for any Indian language. This was even before the first printing machine arrived Goa, India in 1556. Cardila was printed at Lisbon by the command of the Portuguese government with the motivation by the visits of three Paravars Vincent Nasareth, Joj Kavalko and Thomas Cruz from [[Tuticorin]], India to Portugal. The funding for the press came from the Parvar community of Tuticorin. Planting of the Roman Catholic Faith in Pearl Fisherily Coast (India) Christianity in ancient India.[3][4][5]
