Origin: | 18-- The manuscript belonged to a kRSNabhairava; excess space after the mUla often ends with kRSNabhairavasya or kRSNabhairavasyedAM (e.g., f. 118v) or kRSNabhairavasyedaM (f. 120r) or kRSNAjIbhairavasyedaM (f. 129v) or [or some other invocation, like sIddhezvarAya namaH, f. 117v, zrIrAmacaMdrAya namaH f. 120r)]. This not added by another hand, but written by the scribe. Most clear: kRSNabhairavasyedaM pustakaM syAt (f. 132r). Also occurs at excess space at the end of the TIkA, e.g., f. 160v: kRSNAjIbhairavasyedaM. f. 161v: kRSNAjIbhairavasyedaM pustakaM. |
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. ” |
