About
"The Descriptive Catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Alain Daniélou Collection at the Giorgio Cini Foundation by Nicola Biondi, presents an important collection of over 300 copies of manuscripts, both hand-written and type-written, devoted mainly to Indian music and sound. In the 1950s, a team of scholars led by Alain Daniélou searched for Sanskrit manuscripts dealing with music, Sangīta śāstra, in the main Indian libraries and private collections. The texts were copied between 1946 and 1955 all around India (Vārāṇasi, Kolkata, Chennai, Baroda, Thanjavur, Thiruvanathapuram, Pune, Bikaner). The collection, donated by Daniélou to the Giorgio Cini Foundation in 1971, is now thoroughly described in the attempt to offer a useful tool to researchers and all those interested in Indian music history and theory"--Page 4 of cover.
