f. 224: paṃḍitalālakena likhitaṃ | If we accept the date, 1793, for the writing, there is nothing to prevent the identification of the scribe with the compiler of MS. Wilson 419. The handwriting in both cases is very similar. The scribe is identical with that of MS. Mill 108 (993), and probably the history of the MS. is the same.
History
f. 224: oṃ śrīsaṃvat 62 māghavaditṛtīyasyāṃ some | Now saṃvat 62 is unintelligible, unless it is, like MS. Mill 108 (993), a copy from a Kashmir original, nor can it surely mean a. d. 1713, as the Bodl. catal., p. 394a, says, apparently reading 69 and equating it with 1769. But on f. 3 the MS. is said to have been copied at Lucknow, apparently in a. d. 1793. This date suits the very modern hand perfectly.
Provenance and Acquisition
f. 1: ‘From Col. Claud Martin to Sir William Jones. Copied at Lucknow from an original in the possession of Col. M. 2nd Febry. 1793.’ This note is in Jones’ handwriting. On the inside front cover is written in pencil: ‘S. H. L. 1831. The “Oupnekhát” in Sanscrit. From Sir W. Jones’s library with his MS. notes.’ F. 1:’S. H. Lewin—1831, to W. H. Mill, D.D., 1838.’ This is presumably in Lewin’s writing.
The collections of William Hodge Mill were purchased by the Bodleian Library in 1849 and 1858.
