Synopsis

This extensive 18th and 19th Century text collection compiles a total of 112 manuscripts in the Nagari script, providing an invaluable glimpse into a diverse cross-section of Indian Literature, which includes Vedic texts, literary works, historical accounts, and religious commentaries. The texts give scholars insight into the religious and cultural beliefs of 18th Century India. Many of these works likely circulated as standalone texts before being collected within this expansive manuscript, speaking to the varied interests of the time period. One intriguing addition is the inclusion of a commentary on the 12th Century text "Kavyamimamsa," revealing the depth of literary scholarship in the latter period. The collection presents an outstanding opportunity for researchers to delve into the intellectual and spiritual landscape of 18th Century India.
