[INDOLOGY] Pingree's CESS

[Matthew Kapstein]

Dear friends,

Several have kindly replied with NCC references to the Tibetan canon catalogues of Cordier or Suzuki. I am sorry not to have made it clear at the outset that I am well aware of the Tibetan record and this is what has motivated my search for evidence on the Indian side. With thanks for your generous efforts, there is no need to bother with references to the Tibetan Tanjur.

Harivarman, by the way, seems to have been active late 11th or early 12th c. In or around Kashmir, or possibly in what is today west Nepal (Jumla), where his works were translated into Tibetan.

best to all,
Matthew

I am looking for an author named Harivarman, and so not included in the CESS (and also not mentioned in Pingree's volume in the History of Indian Literature). I would be grateful for any suggestions about the best sources to consult, given this lacuna. Of course, the subject-matter is JyotiSa.
