Manuscript Features
The first part of this manuscript has been filmed on B 10/3. This catalogue entry refers only to the second part, filmed on B 11/1. It begins with the recto of probably fol. 91, followed by an unnumbered folio, probably no. 90. Fols. 83 to 91 have been filmed in reverse order, the rest, beginning with 95, in right order.
The date of the manuscript was originally misread as Śaka Saṃvat 1652, but was now corrected to 1452.
This manuscript contains numerous marginal additions which comment on the text. Written with tiny letters, these are sometimes difficult to read in the microfilm, though in principal they are legible. Most of the comments consist of glosses, but some give more elaborate explanations or interpretations of the text.
There is a list of contents at the end.
