Manuscript Features

This manuscript was consulted by Degener for her edition of the Kaṭhināvadāna: Das Kaṭhināvadāna. Eingeleitet, herausgegeben und übersetzt von Almuth Degener. Bonn 1990 (Indica et Tibetica 16).

The folios are intermingled with those of the basic text and photographed in the following order (A = Kaṭhināvadāna; B = Ṭīkā; cf. the edition above, p. 8):

A119/13: B1, B2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B7, A8, B9, B10, B11, B12, B13, B14, B3
A119/16: A1, A2, B4, B5, B6, A7, B8, A9, A10, A11

It seems that this manuscript was written by the same scribe as the basic text. See A 119-13 & A 119-16 (1).
