K. S. Manilal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Professor Dr. Kattungal Subramaniam Manilal, of Kozhikode, is an Emeritus of the Calicut University, a botany scholar and taxonomist, who devoted over 35 years of his life to research, translation and annotation work of the Latin Hortus Malabaricus. This epic effort brought to light the main contents of the book, a wealth of botanical information on Malabar that had remained largely inaccessible to English speaking scholars, because the entire text was in the Latin language.
