Thanks for the details, Mrinal. I remember you explained to me the history of these different catalogues. I put all this information on the Pandit Project <https://www.panditproject.org/entity/109104/institution>.
I also checked with Prof. Graheli who referred to this catalogue in one of his articles. He told me that perhaps there is a scan of this catalogue in Vienna. I know you are busy and I don't want you to scan the entire catalogue for me. But if anyone can do it as paid work I can pay for it. For the time being if you could send me only the reference to the text *Varṇaśikṣāsaṅkṣepa* by Jagaddhara, I'd be grateful.
