Dear colleagues,

Is there any source to which I can turn for understanding the publication history (including chronology and relationship between Bengali-script and Devanagari-script editions) of Raja Radhakanta Deva's Śabdakalpadruma?

I have not found much better than these items in English, Hindi and Spanish:

https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Shabdakalpadruma

https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%AE

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabda_Kalpadruma

There is also a wikipedia page in Bengali that I have not yet tried to read.

I have not yet found digital versions of any edition of volume 1 predating 1875, and yet all the above sources claim that publication started decades earlier. They never specify in which script.

Thanks for any pointers!
