[INDOLOGY] Request for help - materiality of texts and textual production

[Patrick Olivelle]

The hard copy of the book, originally published by the British Library, is still available. The cheapest I found is here:

Hi McComas:
The work that comes to mind is Losty’s The Art of the Book in India. https://archive.org/details/Losty1982

Dear colleagues

What has been written about the materiality of texts and textual production in the realm of Sanskrit literature? I am interested to find out about the ways in which 'books' as physical artefacts and writing as a practical process are addressed in Sanskrit literature.  There is plenty on the history of writing and epigraphy, but I have not yet been able to find much on 'the book' etc - I would be very grateful for any references.

Thanks in advance,

McComas
