[INDOLOGY] Rajasthan Oriental Research Institutes

[Jean Michel DELIRE]

Thanks for your answer, Jason,

Do you mean that non illustrated manuscripts can be obtained freely from
any RORI without asking permission from Jodhpur ? And, if I want a copy of
a manuscript, don't I need Jodhpur's authorization ? Moreover, what exactly
is an illustrated manuscript ? The problem is that I am looking for
manuscripts of the Sanskrit translations of Euclid's Elements, which
generally contains diagrams. Are these manuscripts considered as
illustrated ?
Finally, do you know who I should contact in Jodhpur RORI's administration ?

Best regards,

Jean Michel
