Besides the above, I have also partially collated several other Florentine MSS., which in the course of the following pages will be occasionally cited by F followed by their progressive number in Professor Pavolini's catalogue. As regards the chronology of the abovequoted materials, of which most are undated, the following is an attempt to classify them by centuries, chiefly based on the comparison with six or seven of them which are dated :
A. D. 1300-1400—Kal., *Mu. A. D. 1400-1500-Vi., Kinh., Rish, Dac., *Yog. A. D. 1500-1550-P., Ja., Ratn, Çal., *Cra., "Up., *Indr., *Adi, *Bh. A D 1550—1600-Chat., *Shasht., * Âdi Ch., *Pr., *Dd., ÇEl.
It is not impossible that some of the MSS. classed under the last period, of which only one (Chat) is dated, and this in the year Samvat 1667 (-A, D, 1611), outreach the end of the sixteenth century. The MSS., which show traces of the Mârwâți tendency, are the five following : *Kal., *Daç., *Up., *Shashț., *AdiCh. The two last, being more recent in time, are naturally affected by Marwasi peculiarities in a greater degree,
