I have been given permission (and encouragement) to share the
catalogue description as it stands, so here is a link, in case it
might be of
interest: https://tst-project.github.io/mss/Cod_Palmbl_III_111.xml?facs=1. As
you can see, the transcription of the incipit and explicit of the
final fragment (from the Śrīraṅgamāhātmya) is still in a pretty rough
state. Any help or hints would be warmly welcomed.
Best wishes,
Jason

Dear all,
I am currently proofreading manuscript catalogue entries for the
Texts Surrounding Texts project, and one MS that I am working on
contains a fragment of which part is identified as being from the
43rd chapter of the Śrīraṅgamāhātmya (the rest being presumably from
the 44th). The EFEO brought out a critical edition and translation
of a text under this name just last year, but in a personal
communication from one of the editors, I gather that this text
exists in two recensions, one of 11 chapters and one of 108. The
EFEO edition is apparently of the 11-chapter recension, According to
the editor, the 108-chapter version has been edited by T. K. Sriman
Bhattacharya and published in Srirangam in 2012.
It would be very helpful to consult this edition, as the MS is
uninked and quite hard for a novice reader of Grantha like myself to
make out. And besides, it would be nice to see if what is in the MS
matches the published text, or if it perhaps represents still
another version. I seem to find no trace of this edition anywhere
online, however. Therefore, I leave it to the amazing powers and
generosity of this list to point me in a direction where I might
find a digital copy.
Best wishes,
Jason
