Form: | Folia |
Material: | Country-made paper. |
Extent: | 242 |
Dimension: | 13.8 x 26.8 cm |
Collation: | Single folios. |
Condition: | Excellent. |
Binding: | Unbound. |
Layout: | Written in 7–11 lines per page in hourglass format. The base text is written indented between the commentary written above and below it. Text sometimes continued into the margin. |
Additions: |
Numbers were added to the first original numbering scheme. There are occasional marginalia. Beginning in adhyāya 14, red ink is used to mark word boundaries, mainly in the mūla, but also occasionally in the commentary. Some words are then numbered also in red, as on (inferred foliation scheme) f. 165v, but the reason or system behind the numbering is not clear. |
Color: | Mistakes are covered over with yellow pigment. Orange powder is used inconsistently to highlight certain verse numbers, final rubrics, and introduction of speakers. |
Origin: | 19– |
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. ” |
