[INDOLOGY] Manuscript collections on archive.org

Tue Jul 25 19:25:11 UTC 2023

Deepest thanks to everyone who has sent me further links for the list of
"Online Libraries of Scanned Manuscripts" at INDOLOGY.info.  I'm using a
cheap-and-cheerful plugin for Wordpress that doesn't allow manual
rearrangement of the list items.  So it's a bit of a grab-bag.

Best,
Dominik
