Editorial Notes
The parenthetical description “unfinished book by Rev. A. M. Abraham Ayrookuzhiel” appears more consistent with an editorial annotation than with a self-description by the author. This suggests that the page may have been prepared or revised after Ayrookuzhiel’s death, although additional evidence would be required to confirm its provenance.
