Description:

This second volume of the catalogue covers the considerable number of Epic and Puranic texts contained in the collection. In addition to the main primary sources and commentaries in these genres, attention is also given to other texts, in the categories of ritual and descriptive or eulogistic literature, which are conventionally or occasionally assigned Puranic status or ascribed Puranic origin. Mahatmyas are also covered fully here.

Synopsis:

The arrival in 1909 of the library of manuscripts now known as the Chandra Shum Shere collection increased by well over six thousand the already substantial holdings of the Bodleian and Indian Institute libraries, and made Oxford the repository of the largest known collection of Sanskrit manuscripts outside the Indian subcontinent. It is a huge and uniquely valuable collection of paper and palm leaf manuscripts, purchased for Oxford University by Sir Chandra Shum Shere, the then Prime Minister of Nepal. The General Editor of the catalogue of the collection is Dr Jonathan Katz, Consultant to the Oriental Department of the Bodleian Library, formerly Librarian of the Indian Institute, and present Master of the Queen's Scholars at Westminster School.
