The mystery of the palm-leaf manuscript found in the Library of Handicrafts in Eastern Civilization in India can not be resolved even though everyone has been mobilized for years.
The Library of the Eastern Civilization of the Handicrafts in the city of Chennai in the south is home to more than 70 manuscripts from different parts of the country. But among them there is a mysterious ancient writing that nobody can identify.
WRITTEN ON THE PALM
Librarian Çandra Moran said, "This article is not in our records, it is written on a palm leaf." The library was included in the collection when it opened in 1869. Our library has 50 thousand 180 priceless palm writing, 22 thousand 134 paper writing and 26 thousand 556 reference books.
More than 49 of them are in Sanskrit and 16 are near Tamilce.B
THE WORLD TRANSFERS SCIENCE PEOPLE BY FOUR
Much of the library's inventory of valuable palm leaves and copper plates came from a private collection of Colon McKenzie, Colonel McKenzie, India's first general topographer.
McKenzie, who arrived in India in 1783, had great interest in mathematics and philology. "McKenzie sent officials to all over the country to find these writings," says librarian Mohan.
Manuscripts for literature, history, medicine and nature studies belong to different periods. He is visiting scientists from all over the world.
2008 FIND OUT
When McKenzie died in 1821, his collection was acquired by the British East India Company.
The collection was divided into three groups and a section was sent to the city of Chennai in southern India. The manuscripts in the library are written in different languages such as Telugu, Urdu and Persian. Scientists from all over the world are working on manuscripts by visiting the library.
Mohan says this number has increased in recent years, with 90 scientists visiting the library a day. It may belong to the 16th century In 2008, a reporter who visited the library came across this manuscript in which the language could not be determined.
"This researcher believed that his manuscripts came from the time of Karnataka to Krishna," Mohan said. Krishnadevaraya was a warrior who ruled the Vijayanagara Empire in India in the 16th century for 20 years.
