MISCELLANEA. SOME NOTES ON THE BODLEIAN
defect that will be indicated in the following lines, SANSKRIT MANUSCRIPT CATALOGUE,
to wit, a very inadequate knowledge of Jain VOLUME II. The following notes embody some of the
prosopographia and of the dialect and modes of corrigenda and addenda, which I have made in
writing used by scribes, which is especially reading the second volume of the Catalogue of
marked in the errors and omissions of the index. Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library. Page 120, col. 2. The scribe "Lesa RbhimaThis volume was begun by Professor M. Win- vijaya" is an impossible monster. Read in the ternitz, and completed by Mr. A. B. Keith. In colophon tac-chişyalefa-r. -Bhimavijaya, "his inmany respects, it is fully worthy of the high significant disciple Roi Bhimavijaya." The terms reputation which these scholars have earned ; tipyaleta, literally "scrap of a disciple," and and this excellence renders more regrettable the rei, used for a Jain ascetic, are quite common.
