A Catalogue of South Indian Sanskrit Manuscripts (Especially Those of the Whish Collection) Belonging to the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Catalogue of South Indian Sanskrit Manuscripts (Especially Those of the Whish Collection): Belonging to the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland Besides the Whish mss. There are also a number of other South Indian mss. (sansk. Nos. 1 - 28) described in this Catalogue, about which I could not get any satisfactory information. I found them mixed up with a large number of Tamil mss. Prof. Rhys Davids tells me that they were always kept together with the Whish mss., and he is inclined to think that they, too, belong to the same collection though it is not quite certain that they really formed part of the Whish donation. They are nearly all written in Grantha, and seem, for the greater part, to have been written at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.
