"Religion and Philosophy of Nalayira Divya Prabandham with special reference to NammAlvar" by Dr.N.Subbu Reddiar - Sri Venkateswara University - 1977

DOWNLOAD (English, 31MB):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: The unique and brilliant 900-pages research, written by a Shaivite (!!!). 

The 1st part contains synopsis of classic Vaishnavism and "Shree Bhagavata-Purana" especially, while the 2nd part is dedicated to Shree NammAlwar. 

Very much recommended, in spite of being written by a Shaivite, the research is purely Vaishnava and contains the very massive list of Vaishnava Pramanas from classical sources!!!

Sri Vaishnavas know the term "Nalayira" perfectly, but if someone just started to study the Orthodox Vaishnavism, here is a good explanation from Wikipedia article (see below or #flickr, #plurk):
