Kama Sutram Manuscripts

[ZYSK at ACFcluster.NYU.EDU]

Dear Daniel,
Be sure to examine very carefully the works of Richard Schmidt, who did
considerable work with Kamasutra mss, as well as texts of many other Kamasastra
texts. Likewise, take a close look at more recent translations of the
Kamasutra, especially the one by Klaus Mylius. There are far more interesting
and important Kamasastra texts awaiting careful study and analysis.

Subject: KAMA SUTRAM MANUSCRIPTS

          The Library of Congress has abt. 550 Sanskrit mss not  in Poleman 
          listed in  a card index and about 50 others with no list but they 
          contain no mss of the Kamasutra or other Kamasastra works. 
           
          The researcher should  also  check  art museums, which  may  have 
          acquired illustrated Kamasutra mss for the illustrations.
