Unknown - Religious Sanskrit Manuscript - 1850

A 200+ page (approx) Sanskrit manuscript, loosely bound, in Nandinagari script (high confidence) associated with southern India, C18th/19th. Written in black ink with red punctuation and rubication, arranged within ruled red and yellow borders, traditional cloth covered binding. The manuscript comprises what we believe to be Sanskrit religious or philosophical text (high confidence) written in verse throughout, and possibly of the Hindu Epic Bhagavat Gita (unproven). No illustrations or illuminations. Moderate age wear, staining and edge wear. Some loose leaves and a weak internal binding. Occasional corrections or annotations in the margins, and generally legible and in tact. Possibly copied in Karnataka.

Also, please consider when bidding on this lot that this artwork is shipped from the UK. Import duties will now have to be paid by the recipient to the Postal Service when the parcel arrives in your country. This will likely vary between 5% and 20% of the sale price depending on your country's Import Rate, so please check this if you are concerned. This is a Tax collected on behalf of your Government and is not an additional fee charged by us.

New German customs regulations mean that we are now having to pay customs before the item leaves the UK. Regrettably we have to pass these costs on through a surcharge on postage to Germany. As we don't know the final auctions costs we have estimated the approximate value. If the custom costs more than we have anticipated, we will absorb the additional customs duty.
