Author: | Śrīdharasvāmin |
Title: | Bhāgavatabhāvārthadīpikā |
Part: | ad skandha 10 |
Colophon: | none |
Note: | The manuscript contains the text of the Bhāgavatapurāṇa with Śrīdharasvāmin's commentary Bhāgavatabhāvārthadīpikā on skandha 10, adhyaya 87 on f1r-f13v. On f. 14r is found the text and commentary on 10.86.56–59, and the commentary's introduction to 10.87 again. There are minor variations between the first and second copies of the five introductory verses to 10.87. The inclusion of the text on f. 14r out of sequence cannot be explained by a misplaced folio, since the folio is attached to f. 13, nor by an addition, since it is written in the same hand. Apparently the scribe began to copy again from the incorrect location in the model manuscript or from a different manuscript. |

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. ” |
