Manuscripts for the KSTS series

[Guest guest]

Dear list members,

 

I have to prepare bibliographic records for the volumes of the KSTS (Kashmir

Series of Texts and Studies) and as part of this I thought I'd like to

include information on the available manuscripts for the different texts

published in the series.

 

1) I have the NCC (which of course only goes up to "ba"), and I understand

that Aufrechts CC also lists manuscripts for some texts of the series. Can

anyone give me the names of catalogues that might have manuscripts not

listed in the NCC or CC for the texts of the series.

 

2) In a great number of cases the introductions to the different volumes of

the series indicate that the texts were prepared from manuscripts in the

private hands of pandits working for the department that published the

volume. Did most of these manuscripts remain in private hands or are they

now in an institutes collection.

 

3) Whatever became of "The Research Department of the Jammu and Kashmir

State". Is it still in existence in some form or other.

 

Many thanks,
