Descriptive Catalogue of Bardic and Historical MSS

A detailed guide to Rajputana manuscripts, their form, provenance, and contents, with notes on the Bikaner State collections. This edition helps readers understand how bardic poems, prose chronicles, and devotional works were compiled, copied, and organized in historic Indian libraries.

Excerpt from Bardic and Historical Survey of Rajputana: A Descriptive Catalogue of Bardic and Historical Manuscripts

Under the general title of "Prose Chronicles," the present section of the Descriptive Catalogue of Bardic and Historical Manuscripts includes all kinds of works in prose, such as those meant by the Marwari terms khyata, vata, vigata, vamsvali, pidhis and similar ones, all of which partake more or less of an historical character. Bardic poems and songs, as well as works on non-historical subjects, when found interspersed in the same manuscripts, have also been described, though much more cursorily. In quoting extracts, preference has often been given to passages containing dates, figures, names, etc., or supplying some new information.

The importance of this section of the Descriptive Catalogue is increased by the fact that the works described in it form the richest source of information available in connection with the mediaeval history of Rajputana, and one of the scopes of the present Catalogue is to collect and classify all such materials - which to this day have mostly remained scattered and ignored - so as to make identification and reference possible and easy. Almost the generality of these works being anonymous and titleless, the number under which they are registered in the present Catalogue will enable one easily to cite them in any work of historical research that may be compiled in future.
