contain the earliest lists of Mss. at Pāțaņ and at Ahmedabad respectively. On the basis of Ms.No.278 (Dharmasāgara's Kupakşa-kausika-sahasra-kirana with auto-commentary: see our fn.5 and 7), Bhandarkar analyses the contents of this work in details, see pp.144155. This Report, as those of Peterson, was even otherwise much utilized by both Ernst Leumann and Walther Schubring. See also Janert, ABCIM.I,p.127 (#273: BP). 11.17 The Jaina-Granthavali, a forerunner to the JRK (1.18), was published by the Jaina Svetâmbara Conference (Bombay), samvat 1965.1-367,1-112(Indices), 1-3(Errata) pp. It is the first consolidated register of Jaina Mss. (and texts and works) based on the lists of Pāțaņ (6 Bhaņdāras), Jesalmer (1), Limbadi (1), Cambay (1: jaina śālā), Bhavnagar (1), Ahmedabad (2 bh.), Koṇāy (1), Bombay (1 in Anantanāthaji Temple), and on the BȚhasțipaņikā (dated sam. 1556). On p.16-17, No.29 it records 14 Mss. of the MNA adding two footnotes: 1. about its extent (3500, 4200, or 4548 granthậgra) and 2. Haribhadra's "editorship". This book was therefore used by W.Schubring, MNSt.A pp.1-2. 11.18 Velankar, JRK 1944
Jinaratnakośa An Alphabetical Register of Jain Works and Authors. Vol.I Works, by Hari Damodar Velankar. Poona, BhORI (Govt. Or.Ser.C, No.4) 1944.
i-[xii], 1-466 pp. (Vol. II was prepared but has not yet been published.) This is the most indispensable "consolidated register" of Jaina texts and works on the basis of printed catalogues and hand-written lists of Jaina Mss. and is thus a very useful research tool for Jainology (ABCIM.I,p.156.#330). 11.19 Kapadia, Cat.BhORI.17.2 1936
Descriptive Cat. of the Govt. Collections of Mss. deposited at the BhORI, Vol.XVII compiled by Hiralal Rasikdas Kapadia. Poona, BhORI. Pt.ii.1936 (with
palaeographical appendices). XXII,363,24 pp. Kapadia gives on pp.29-36 full details of the Poona Mss. of the MNA used by Schubring and others. It is, therefore, referred to by Deleu. For other parts of Vol.17 (and Vol.XVIII,Pt.1, Vol. XIX,Pt.1) by Kapadia see Janert, ABCIM.I, p.124,#264. For Vol.17. Pt. 1-2 see also Schubring, Kl.Schr.(11.10),p.454.
