Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Adyar Library, Vol. 1: Theosophical Society The Adyar Library opens the Descriptive Catalogue of its Sanskrit MSS. with the volume on Upanisad literature, because this volume is wanted at present as the necessary basis of a work now under preparation, viz., a critical edition and translation of the more important of the so-called Minor Upanisads. The two largest collections of Upanisad MSS. of which catalogues have been published are, in the West, that of the India Office in London with 356 numbers (copies) and 144 works (titles), and, in India, the collection of the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library, Madras, with 607 numbers and 183 works.
