JII GENERAL SCHEME
OF THE DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, Dr. Burnell issued "A Classified Index of the Sanskrit Mss. In the Palace at Tanjore" in three parts between 1878-1880 and noticed briefly 12,376 M88. At present the Library posseggos more than 25,000 Sanskrit Mss. The present Descriptive Catalogno is expected to furnish detailed notices regarding all the Sanskrit Mee. When the scheine of a descriptive catalogue of the Sapskrit Mes. in the Tanjore Palace Library, Tanjore, was first discussed, I expected that the whole catalogue may not exceed 5000 pages of printed matter. But the experience of the last two years shows that the Descriptive Catalogne would easily exceed 10,000 pages. As the Government Grant sanctioned in G. O. No. Mis. 663 dated 9th April 1927 conteinplates only a three-year programme ending with 31st March 1930 for catalogue estimated to extend over approximately 5,000 pages, I have to set forth in detail the scheme which is proposed to serve as a guide for the Sangkrit Mss. contained in this Library.
The 25,600 Sanskrit Mss. of this Library may be roughly classified under the following heads :--
PART 1-VEDIC LITERATURE. 1. Vedas: Emphitäs and Smhitabbágyas.
Brahmanas and Brahmanabhäqyas.
Ārapyakas and Aranyakabhiqyas. , Upanigads and Upanipadbhäqyas.
Nos. 1677. :
For Private and Personal Use Only
