Sri Andhra Vignanamu was a general knowledge Telugu encyclopedia.[1][2] It was published in seven volumes between 1938 and 1941 from Kakinada and Rajahmundry.[3][4][5] It is considered to be the first complete encyclopedia in Telugu.[6][7] It was edited by Kandukuri Bala Surya Prasada Rao (also known as Prasada Bhoopaludu), Zamindar of Devidi Estate in Ganjam district.[8][9][10][11]
Contributors
Prasada Bhoopaludu compiled the articles from various scholars and put them in his own language. Apart from being a compiler and editor, he was also a writer of the encyclopedia.[3]
Content
All the articles in the encyclopedia were alphabetically arranged as per the Telugu alphabet.[12][8] A supplement to the encyclopedia containing 184 pages was published in 1941.[13] Cattamanchi Ramalinga Reddy wrote the preface to the encyclopedia and praised the editor Prasada Bhoopaludu for his scholarship.[14]
Reception
Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature reviewed it noting, "Though it is a one man effort and has all the drawbacks associated with it, and the selection as well the treatment of the entries is more arbitrary than logical, the volumes are, no doubt, serving its designed purpose."[6]
M. Sankara Reddy lists Andhra Vignanamu in his book on Telugu reference sources.[3] C. Dwarakanath Gupta cited it for information on Vysya gotras in his book Socio-cultural History of an Indian Caste.[4]
