Extract
Students of early history are greatly indebted to Mr. Philipps for the clear and compendious form in which, in his article entitled “The Connection of St. Thomas the Apostle with India,” published in the Indian Antiquary, vol. 32, 1903, pp. 1 ff., 145 ff., he has brought together from so many works, some of them not easily accessible, even if they were known, to general readers, so much matter of importance about the Christian tradition which connects St. Thomas the Apostle with India.
