FOREWORD
The first volume of An Alphabetical List of Manuscripts in the Oriental Institute was first published in 1942 as the Gaekwad's Oriental Series No. 97. It was out of print since long and was in great demand from the scholarly world. The reprinting of it was a necessity. It, therefore, gives me pleasure to put before the world of scholars this reprint by photo-offset of the first volume of An Alphabetical list of Manuscripts in the Oriental Institute. It covers 7348 Manuscripts of the collection of the Oriental Institute. The first volume was followed by the second volume, covering another 9077 works. Even this was out of print for long, was in greai demand, and will be available in the same way very soon. The third volume covering another 6000 works is recently published. The work of the fourth volume is also in progress and will cover the remaining manuscripts of the collection of the Oriental Institute.
I hope this volume will also be well-received by scholars and students as its previous edition.

I am thankful to Shri P.N. Shrivastav, the Manager, The M. S. University (Sadhana) Press and his colleagues for their co-operation in reprinting this book.
