Dear Jean,

Numerous copies of Tusi's *Tahrir usul al-hindisah li-uqlidus*  are housed
in Indian libraries. For instance,  The Khudabakhsh Oriental Library in
Patna holds two manuscripts with call numbers Arabic 2431 and 2432. Other
copies can be found in Asafiyya and Raza Rampur Libraries.


Best,
Nariman
