Dear colleagues, I am looking for a Ms of the *Rekhāgaṇita*, a Sanskrit translation of Euclid's Elements, made by Jagannatha in 1728 Jaipur, from an Arabic Ms. According to its editor (Trivedi, Bombay, 1901-2, p.7), the most important Ms he used came from the Library of the Government Sanskrit College, Banaras (today Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishvavidyalaya) , but I can't find it in the Catalogue. Does someone have an explanation of this curious fact ? I am also looking for Arabic versions of Euclid's Elements conserved in India, especially Nasir ad-din at-Tusi's Tahrir. Do you know where I could find more information ?
