[INDOLOGY] Benares Sanskrit College Catalogue

[Jean Michel DELIRE]

Thank you very much for your answer, Nariman

Actually, there is a long list of Mss of the *Tahrir usul al-handasa li
uqlidis* on https://ismi.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/witness/187347
But it mentions only one Ms in Patna, with a number that doesn't
correspond to Arabic 2431 or 2432, and it doesn't mention the
Asafiyya Library. Can you tell me more information about these ?

Best,

Jean Michel
