Marginal corrections. Mistakes covered over with yellow. f.[III]91v has many added notations in margins by different hand; it does not supply any ommitted commentary of ZrIdhara, which is complete, dealing with verses 13-21 of chapter 28; is perhaps another layer of commentary. f. [VIII]35 has long additions in different hand (possibly) red text inserted or imprinted accidentally on the right bottom corner of folio [Xa}15r. dried flower pressed into middle of folio [Xa]19v; obscures some of text f. [Xb]27v has extra notes in margin on right bottom. ff. [Xb}93v-[Xb]94v there is extensive notation in a different hand or hands.

Acquisition: |
(David Nelson (2000: 203)) describes the acquisition of the Sanskrit manuscripts in the University of Pennsylvania Library as follows:
“
The University of Pennsylvania Library possesses a collection of almost 3,300 Indic manuscripts, the largest such collection in the Western hemisphere. While the vast majority of these manuscripts are from India, there are also a number of manuscripts from Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Tibet. Some of the manuscripts had been acquired in chance fashion by the Library and the University Museum before 1930, but in that year, at the request of Professor W. Norman Brown (1892-1975), Provost Josiah Penniman provided a sum of money to purchase Indic manuscripts. Shortly thereafter he obtained a donation from the late Mr. John Gribbel. Substantial contributions from Dr. Charles W. Burr, the Faculty Research Fund, and the Cotton Fund soon followed. The bulk of the manuscripts are the result of purchases made using these funds in India, between 1930 and 1935, under the direction of Professor W. Norman Brown. ” |
