Lot Essay

Brunet: 'Le Bhagavata Purana est un Poëme Immense, écrit à l'époque du renouvellement des croyances et de la littérature brahmaniques entre le VIIIe et le XIIIe siècle ...' Brunet also records that the initial intention was for a six vol. edition for Burnouf's 'belle collection orientale', but the edition stopped after just 3 vols.
