The Chandra Shum Shere Collection, which arrived in Oxford from
Varanasi over a century ago, is one of the largest Indian
manuscript libraries in the world outside the Subcontinent. Part IV
of this descriptive catalogue adds much to our knowledge of the
collection as a whole and gives details of nearly 900 manuscripts
in the field of Vedic literature, a fine and varied corpus of
Sanskrit primary texts and commentaries. There are some indications
that the original owner of this collection was a ritualist with
interests both in sacrificial practice and in traditional Vedic
scholarship. This element of the collection brings the published
catalogue records near to the half-way point, and other subject
volumes are present in preparation. Catalogue entries give full
information of the coverage of the nature and extent of the texts,
materials, scripts, scribes, dates and places of writing, and
former owners of the manuscripts.
