Description (Biswas 1998)
These manuscripts - Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu etc. were acquired from the missionaries at Tranquebar by Heinrich Gerdes (1690-1741). Subsequently, William Hunter probably purchased the same from Gerdes widow sometime after 1765 and certainly before 1780. Presently the collection is housed in the Glasgow University Library. Unpublished.
