GENERAL SCHEME
OF THE DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, Dr. Burnell issued "A Classified Index of the Sanskrit Mss. in the Palace at Tanjore" in three parts between 1878-1880 and noticed briefly 12,876 M88. At present the Library possesses more than 25,000 Sanskrit M88. The present Descriptive Catalogue is expected to furnish detailed notices regarding all the Sanskrit Mge. When the scheine of a descriptive catalogue of the Sanskrit M88. in the Tanjore Palace Library, Tanjore, was first discussed, I expected that the whole catalogue may not exceed 5000 pages of printed inatter. But the experience of the last two years shows that the Descriptive Catalogue would easily excood 10,000 pages. As the Government Grant sanctioned in G. O. No. Mis. 563 dated 9th April 1927 contemplates only a three-year programme ending with 31st March 1930 for catalogue estimated to extend ovor approximately 5,000 pages, I have to set forth in detail the scheme which is proposed to serve as a guide for the Sanskrit Mss. contained in this Library.
The 25,600 Sanskrit Mss. of this Library may be roughly classified under the following heads :
PART 1-VEDIC LITERATURE. 1. Vedas: Spbitis and Spahitábhagyas.
Brahmabas and Brāhmaṇabhiqyas. Aranyakas and Aranyakabhäqyas. Upanipads and Upanipadbhäqyas.
Nou. 1677.
