did you know did you know that hortus malabaricus didn't use malayalam type as you wrongly said it has engravings which contain names of plants in malayalam sanskrit etc but no malayalam type was cast nor used for printing the book the appearance of malayalam in print and use of malayalam type are hugely different none of the sources quoted under hortus malabaricus says that the book used malayalam types please stop spreading misinformation in order to increase number of dyks to your credit also note that no malyalam translation of the book has been done or published as you added in the article how could you interpret the university's decision to publish one as publication itself
