[INDOLOGY] Benares Sanskrit College Catalogue

[Elliot Stern]

Dear Jean Michel,

The Benares Sanskrit College 1911 catalogue also does not include any pūrvamīmāṃsā manuscripts. I was first curious to see if the Nyāyakaṇikā manuscript reported in the 1888 (?) catalogue would also appear there, but did not find it. I expect that another volume may have been planned in 1911, but was not published.

You will find here a reference to the earlier catalogue: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/resources/Record/990002234850504498/Details . I have not seen any soft copy of this catalogue on line, and I have a Xerox copy of only the title page and the page for the Nyāyakaṇikā manuscript.

Theodor Aufrecht cites this ms  as Ben 30 on page 534 of Catalogus Catalogorum (1891).

Is that normal and does anybody have a soft copy of that Catalogue ? I am actually looking for a Ms of the Rekhāgaṇita that, according to the editor Trivedi (Bombay 1901-2), contains some margin notes in Arabic.
