[INDOLOGY] Śabdakalpadruma

[Arlo Griffiths]

Dear colleagues,

Is there any source to which I can turn for understanding the publication history (including chronology and relationship between Bengali-script and Devanagari-script editions) of Raja Radhakanta Deva's Śabdakalpadruma?

I have not found much better than these items in English, Hindi and Spanish:

There is also a wikipedia page in Bengali that I have not yet tried to read.

I have not yet found digital versions of any edition of volume 1 predating 1875, and yet all the above sources claim that publication started decades earlier. They never specify in which script.

Thanks for any pointers!
