to A. D. 1850. In the following pages, we give a short account of the notable authors, who flourished during this period, in their chronological order, giving a brief statement of their more celebrated works with the catalogue number enclosed in brackets (works, in respect of which no numbers are given, are easily traceable in the Adyar or Madras Oriental Manuscript Libraries). The contents of these works are not touched upon as these can be gathered from their descriptions in the Descriptive Catalogue. In presenting this History of Sanskrit Literature for this period. my aim is to invite the attention of scholars and learned institutions to the rich material lying embedded in the manuscript-material available in the great Oriental Manuscript Libraries in India and abroad. A systematic classification and study of these should easily lead to the reconstruction of the History of Sanskrit Literature, from 1200 A. D. onwards, which, in point of richness of content, not to speak of the variety of subjects dealt with, should be even more fascinating than the period before 1200 A. D.
