[INDOLOGY] Benares Sanskrit College Catalogue

[Jean Michel DELIRE]

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a Ms of the *Rekhāgaṇita*, a Sanskrit translation of
Euclid's Elements, made by Jagannatha in 1728 Jaipur, from an Arabic Ms.
According to its editor (Trivedi, Bombay, 1901-2, p.7), the most important
Ms he used came from the Library of the Government Sanskrit College,
Banaras (today Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishvavidyalaya) , but I can't find it
in the Catalogue. Does someone have an explanation of this curious fact ?
I am also looking for Arabic versions of Euclid's Elements conserved in
India, especially Nasir ad-din at-Tusi's Tahrir. Do you know where I could
find more information ?

Best regards,
