Introduction to Manuscripts and Manuscriptology

A country’s pride resides in its culture and heritage. It is evident from the richness of archeology, monuments, arts & crafts including manuscripts.It is estimated that India possesses more than five million
manuscripts, making the largest repository of manuscript wealth in the world. Though our ancestors had tried to preserve these manuscripts, thousands of such valued unpublished Indian manuscripts on varied subjects are lying scattered
or fragmented in India and foreign collections and some of these are no longer accessible to research scholars.
