The Bhaagavata was for long regarded as belonging to around the 12th century. later an MS of the 12th century was found. The Bh. then should be earlier by a few centuries. The exact date is difficult to determine.

I would be most grateful if someone could post (or email me) the latest ideas about the date of the Bhagavatam. Working mostly with Tamil, I’m not in the loop about such matters and I need to say something in the introduction to my translation of the Akanāṉūṟu. (Of course, I will acknowledge any help). Thanks.
