Perhaps if this jogs the memory of someone else on the list, it can be located. I do hope that you post the results of this query to the list as a whole - it is a most important topic. best regards, Matthew Matthew Kapstein Directeur d'études, émérite Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Paris Numata Visiting Professor of Buddhist Studies, The University of Chicago https://brill.com/view/title/60949 https://ephe.academia.edu/MatthewKapstein ________________________________ From: INDOLOGY <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Christian Ferstl via INDOLOGY <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Monday, January 31, 2022 4:39 AM To: Indology <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [INDOLOGY] Premodern Indian libraries and archives Dear Friends and Colleagues, on behalf of an MA student I would like to ask whether you can recommend literature on ancient Indian libraries and archives, their organisation, structure, storage etc. in courts, monasteries and in private.
