Dear Christian,

As  Matthew and Jonathan suggest, you are likely referring to Fussman's ‘Dans quel type de bâtiment furent trouvés les manuscrits de Gilgit?’  This recent article by Noriyuki Kudo may also be of interest:

Kudo, Noriyuki. 2019. “On and around the Gilgit Manuscripts in the National Archives of India.” The Journal of Oriental Studies. Volume 29. 168–181.

All my best,
Charles

The present whereabouts of the piece seem to be unknown.

Dear Christian,

I recall that Gerard Fussmann had some interesting reflections on the Gilgit manuscripts in this respect, but I cannot locate the reference just now. Perhaps if this jogs the memory of someone else on the list, it can be located.

I do hope that you post the results of this query to the list as a whole - it is a most important topic.

best regards,
Matthew

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Premodern Indian libraries and archives
 
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

on behalf of an MA student I would like to ask whether you can recommend
literature on ancient Indian libraries and archives, their organisation,
structure, storage etc. in courts, monasteries and in private.

Thanks in advance,
