Présentation du contenu

This photographic reproduction of a Nepalese palm-leaf manuscript was made by Palmyr Cordier at the end of the 19th century. It documents a rare exemplar of the Kāśyapasaṃhitā, an important Ayurvedic treatise, of which there are only two fragmentary manuscripts extant. The manuscript which was photographed here seems to have been lost (Wujastyk 1998, 207).

This item was previously miscatalogued as the Kalyāṇasaṃgraha, due to a misreading of Jean Fillozat's list of Cordier's manuscript collection. Filliozat also notes that the original glass plates from which these photographic prints were made are also extant (1934, 171), although these plates have not yet been located.

Sanscrit 1155 is a transcription of this manuscript, made by Cordier and Umeśacandra Gupta. They seem to emend the text.
