Dear David,

I have successively acquired images from the Sāṅkṛtyāyana collection by contacting SUB Göttingen via the email address hsd@sub.uni-goettingen.de. This contact is also the one provided at the following website: https://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de/sammlungen-historische-bestaende/handschriften-und-nachlaesse/. 

Best wishes,

-- Ryan

Does someone have the right email address to request digital images of the photographs of Sanskrit manuscripts taken in Tibet by Rāhula Sāṅkṛtyāyana that are now housed at Göttingen University? I have not had success in this, nor was a librarian at the Göttingen University library able to help so far. I did also write directly to the K. P. Jayaswal Research Institute in Patna where the original photographs and negatives are held, but did not receive a reply. A set of photographs of the manuscripts was reportedly purchased by Gustav Roth and deposited at Göttingen University a few decades ago, and that is where some scholars have reported purchasing digital copies from since then. They were catalogued by Frank Bandurski in this 1994 book, Untersuchungen zur buddhistischen Literatur, pp. 9-126, which I have posted here: http://prajnaquest.fr/blog/wp-content/uploads/Sankrtyayana-Collection-Catalogue-Gottingen.pdf

 

Thank you in advance for your help with this.
