A LIST OF PRINTED CATALOGUES AND REPORTS
ABOUT MANUSCRIPTS
! . The following is the list of works ( Catalogues, Reports, etc.) already published embodying the results of the search and preservation of Sanskrit manuscripts in the Bombay Circle from 1868 to 1915. All lists published up to 1884 have been incorporated in our consolidated catalogue prepared by Mr. S. R. Bhandarkar, M. A., in 1888. The lists for the subsequent years are to be found embodied in the various Reports published thereafter. These Reports are of considerable value, in as much as they give in many cases the history of individual manuscripts, personal details of authors, their chronology, and such other items. All these works are therefore here put together in one place for ready reference.....
