Abstract
Tranquebar was the first Danish-Norwegian trading colony in India. Many European colonies existed on the subcontinent in the 17th and 18th centuries, but Tranquebar stood out as the headquarters of the multinational Pietist Halle Mission. Over the course of the 18th century, the mission developed into a regional hub for collecting, organizing, and exchanging scientific knowledge with Europe. Scientific knowledge served several purposes for the mission, and the knowledge produced there sometimes took on new forms that were neither European nor Indian, but distinctly colonial.
