Dear list members,

 

I'm trying to prepare some bibliographic records for the KSTS (Kashmir

Series of Texts and Studies) series.

 

Title pages of volumes 1 and 3 of the series have in english "The Kashmir

series of Texts and Studies edited by J. C. Chatterji,..." but in sanskrit

at the bottom of the page " zrIjagadIzacandra-caTTopAdhyAya-saMpAditA "

 

The Library of Congress has J.C. Chatterji as editor for vol. 1, but the

NYPL Oriental Collections has Jagadisachandra Chattopadhyaya as editor for

it.

 

Are in fact J. C. Chatterji and jagadIzacandra-caTTopAdhyAya the same

person. (I believe J. C. Chatterji stands for Jagadisha Chandra Chatterji) .

 

Many thanks,

If on the LC catalog you do an author search on Chattopadhyaya, Jagadisa-Candra,

you will be referred to the name authority Chatterji, Jagadish Chandra, which

shows my cataloging colleagues decided they were the same person. The LCCNs

(Library of Congress Card [now Control] Number) show that the first book of his

to be cataloged by LC was acquired in 1931, and several more in the 1940s, when

he was possibly still alive, and Horace Poleman would probably have met him in

his prolonged buying tour of 1939-40. Also, the catalogers would frequently

write letters to authors asking them which the preferred form of their name was.

 

If this seems like driving the nail in with too many strokes it may be because I

have gotten involved with some people who think Shakespeare's works were written

by the Early of Oxford rather than by "the Stratford man" as they call Wm.

Shakespeare. And last night public TV had a 1 ½ hour program on those who think

Christopher Marlowe did them.

 

Happy New Year,

Chatterji is the short form of Chattopadhyaya. Hence J.C.Chatterji and Jagadish chandra Chattopadhyaya are the one and same.

 

These Surnames of Bengal are shortened like

 

Short from = Full Form Surname

 

Mukherjee = Mukhopadhyaya

Benarji = Bandhopadhyaya

Chatterji = Chattopadhyaya
