THE CONGREGATION of the in Cochin on the Malabar coast has in its possession until today two copper plates on which are engraved in the ancient Tamil language, written in the archaic and obsolete Vatteluttu script, certain privileges granted to a Joseph Rabban many centuries ago by the Hindu ruler of Malabar, Bhdskara Ravi Varma, whose title was Cheraman Perumal.1 These copper plates cherished by the White Jews as their most precious historical documents, as their charter, their original settlement deed (sasanam) are deposited in an iron box, known as Pandeal, in the Paradesi Synagogue of the Jews and carefully guarded by its Elders.2
