asva sastra

[Allen W Thrasher]

The only copy I can find is in the British Library, the correct title
being not *Science of the horse but *Science of horses:
 
Asva-Sastra; or, the Science of Horses ... Translated from the original
Sanskrit text by Pandit. V. Vijayaraghavacharya ... Edited with 153
illustrations of horses of all kinds and published by V. J. A. and V.
Krishnasamy..pp. 7. 3. 12. 315. P. N. Press: Tirupati, 1928..  4º.. 
Description  Collection;Shelfmk   Oriental Collections ; 14053.e.33.
 
According to the pages of the BL's Asia, Pacific and Africa
Collections, <  http://www.bl.uk/collections/sanskrit.html >, the
contact person for Sanskrit is Michael O'Keefe and his email <
michael.o'keefe at bl.uk >. 
 
I also add a list of Asvasastras off the subscription version of the
OCLC/WorldCat database.  One can go to the no-charge, universally
acceptable vanilla version at < http://www.worldcat.org/ > and find out
what libraries own copies of the books.

friends,
My friend Dr. Sandeep Joshi JRRSU is working on the asva sastra. He is
e
diting the text of Asva sastra earlier published in Sarasvati mahal.
but
the text is currupt and difficult to reconstruct. there is on info on
author
etc.
He wants to know whether there are early writings on this subject. One
reference is "Asva-sastra or the science of the horse"  of Hemasuri
eds. V.
J. A. and V. Krishnasamy  1928. Even we are finding it dificult to
trace
this book. we want some information.

thanks in advance.
