Overview

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Library of the Indian Office, Vol. 5: Samskrit Literature: A. Scientific and Technical Literature; IX. Medicine; X. Astronomy and Mathematics; XI. Architecture and Technical Science The present part of the Catalogue is based, to a large extent, on materials left behind by my late friend and collaborator, Dr. Ernst Haas; and the same will be the case as regards the remaining sections of the work. Since the'time when the mss. Here dealt with passed through Dr. Haas's hands - in the case of the majority of them upwards of twenty years ago-so many new mss. Have come to light, and so much has been done in the way of cataloging collections, and editing hitherto unpublished works, that his descriptions could not but be expected to require, not only a very thorough revision, but also very considerable alterations; and accordingly there is scarcely a single ms. Among those noticed in the present part which has not been subjected to a renewed examination. In this work of revision Professor Aufrecht's Catalogue Catalogorwm has been of great use to me; for, besides facilitating the task of cataloging Sanskrit mss. Generally, this work also proves an excellent guide to research by bringing out clearly the points on which additional information is still.
