Preface
part I,' part V of Vol. XVII cannot be completed in time. So the question of combining these two does not arise.
This Part V of Vol. XVII comprises the following ten Appendices :
(I) Index of Authors. (II) Index of Works. (III) Classification of Works according to Languages. (IV) List of Dated Works, (V) List of Dated Manuscripts. (VI) (a) Chronograms and their Significations.
(b) Sanskrit Words and their Numerical Significations, ( VII ) Cosmological Data with special reference to names of
places where works were composed or copied. (VIII) Proper Names of ( a ) Deities, (b) Kings, Queens and
Princes, (c) Scribes, (d) Schools and Sub-schools, (e) Castes, Sub-castes, Lineages etc. (f) Jaina Monks and Nuns, (g) Jaina Laity, (h) Non-Jaina Laity,
(i) Works and their Sections and (i) Miscellanea. (IX) List of Abbreviations along with their Explanations and
Locations. (X) Correspondence Table of Manuscripts.
Of these ten Appendices, App. I, II and X were practically prepared as far back as 1933 and the rest during the years 1934-1940. In 1941 it struck me that I should replace serial numbers of works by page numbers for Appendices VII-IX so that it may become a work of ready reference. This change I went on introducing as Parts III and IV of Vol. XVII got printed.
I have said a few words about all the appendices except the sixth in my Preface (pp. xx-xx1 ) of part III of Vol. XVII and those about this sixth appendix in my Preface (p. xvii) of part IV of Vol. XVII. What remains to be added by way of special features is given here as under, per appendix:--
1 It is already published last year ( 1952 ).
