Description
The series TN of the collection of Dr Krishnan consists in 4 manuscripts. The manuscripts are composed of palm leaves written with a stylus on the two sides. The leaves of the manuscripts were entirely mixed when he gave them for digitalisation. The text of the manuscripts are not related to siddha knowledge, but to literature : MSS1 concern Christianity; MSS2 is a piece of an epic; MSS3 is a part of Ramayana and MSS4 is a puranic text. The texts of the MSS1 and MSS2, written in Tamil, are in Telugu language.
Extent and Format of Original Material
The series Krishnan_TN_ comprises 4 files (manuscripts).
System of Arrangement
4 manuscripts were reconstituted from the 8 manuscripts, given by Dr. P. Krishnan. Some disparate leaves founded in the 8 manuscripts were not digitalised as their topics were not related to the those of the manuscripts.
