[INDOLOGY] Question about Nepalese manuscripts

[Charles DiSimone]

Hi Harry,

Thyāsphu is a manuscript folded similar to how an accordion looks as opposed to pothi mss. They are only ever paper as far as I know. 

It sounds like you are trying to incorporate previously catalogued Nepalese mss. into some project. Care to elaborate? 

All my best,
Charles
