In the middle of the sixteenth century, Portuguese missionaries brought the printing press to Goa for the first time. Priests of the Jesuit order studied Konkani and produced various tracts. About 50 books in the Kanara and Konkani languages had been printed by 1674. The first Tamil book was produced in Cochin in 1579 by Catholic priests, while the first Malayalam book was printed there in 1713. 32 Tamil manuscripts, many of which were translations of earlier works, had been printed by Dutch Protestant missionaries by the year 1710.

Identify the early instances of the introduction of printing press technology in India, and how did different missionary groups contribute to the printing of books and texts in various languages?

Only those who were literate could read books, and until the 20th century, literacy rates were extremely low in the majority of European nations. So how might publishers convince the general public to accept the printed book? They had to keep in mind that printed material had a broader audience because even people who did not read might benefit from listening to books read aloud. Printers then started releasing well-known ballads and folktales in volumes that were heavily embellished with images.
Then, at meetings in villages and in pubs in towns, these were sung and recited. Thus, oral culture influenced print, and printed material was conveyed orally. The distinction between reading and oral cultures grew fuzzier.

What were the key implications of the transition from oral culture to print culture in terms of audience reach and interaction with books, and how did publishers adapt to bridge the gap between the literate and illiterate audiences?
