Perhaps I overlooked it’s notice by others, but this rather idiosyncratic collection came to my attention some time ago: http://indianmanuscripts.com/ It bills itself as the largest collection of Indian manuscripts and antique books. There are some valuable items, but the romanization is via the North Indian/Hindi pronunciation one sometimes finds in Archive.org as well. Consequently, items are a bit challenging to spot from time to time. Best wishes, Ron ________________________________ Ronald M.
