________________ Addendum regarding J2 and notes 5 and 10: In his letter of 7 September 1982, K kindly informs me: "Two copies of the same Ms were prepared at Jaisalmir by one scribe; one of which was sent to De and the other preserved at Jaisalmir." Although K does not specify what his source for this information is, it makes good sense. Generally, scholars who have been issued transcripts are not expected to return them to the issuing library. It is, therefore, not very likely that De returned his copy and the copy paste one was made no. 379 of the collection. Secondly, since Jl is such a valuable document, it is very probably that a scribe was asked to make two copies of it, one for De and one for internal use. The one for internal use then became no. 379. Thus, if K is right, we should speak of J2a (supplied to De), J2b (= no. 379), and J2c (photo-copy of J2b in K's possession).
