Additions: |
Yellow pigment used to erase text. Orange powder used to highlight certain verse numbers, colophons, and introduction of speakers--not used consistently. In addition to the main numbering, often done by another hand, there is also sometimes individual numbering of sections covering a specific chapter of the BG. Occasional marginalia. Chapter 14 -- red ink is used to mark word boundaries, mainly in the mUla, but also in the commentary a bit. Some words are then numbered, also in red, but the reason or system behind the numbering is not clear. |

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. ” |
